Darkness Turning Blue

When I was 10 years old, even though my guitar is pitch black, I saw potential in it and gave it this name... I swear it looks cooler in Turkish!

My "darkness turning blue" stands silently next to my bookshelf

Watching me dress up.

Waiting for me to hug and talk to him

But lately, I refused my time with him 

   for some meat looking so-called lovers

And I ashamed that he saw me

The lamplight shines on him

Grining like he forgives me

And wants along to my karaoke

He holds my hands tightly and I know I belong there

Adjusting to my breath

Becoming one with my body and starting to speak my pain

My darkness turning blue is crying with me today

you have personified your guitar and what a beautiful write this is. music instruments, I can only imagine the love affair with it, how enriching and endearing it must be. I always wanted to learn to play guitar, never got to that.. but this is inspiring in a way, that you can bond and connect with your instruments so deeply. I liked reading this one. Came out beautifully, thanks for sharing this, B.

Aww thank you so so much my dear friend! To be fair, my guitar deserves much better than me. Wish I could spend more time with him...
Thank you so much for your time, I love your comments.

What a great name for such a prized object and a great perspective for a poem too, taking an inanimate object and making that the focus of the scene.
All the emotions from joy to pain and everything in between you have lived together and it makes us almost hear those blue filled notes.
Exceptional.

Aww thank you so much for your very kind words sir. I appreciate it. Thank you for visiting.

What a wonderful name for a guitar. So enigmatic! I refuse to believe your singing deserves to be described as karaoke though. If your songs are like your poetry, you have a baited audience awaiting to hear your every modulated breath!
I need a name for my guitar that has such powerful potency..

:') You are gonna make me cry. Right now I'm sick and I have a terrible voice with a broken accent, probably you wouldn't wanna hear hahaha. We can find a good name to your guitar. Thank you so much for reading John.

Instruments can become part and parcel of us; they strum deep and echo wide.
You have a love affair of this precious Instrument that is bonding your identity.

Very fine. Isn’t it interesting where our subconscious takes us when we start small.
