Music

Music is making love with notes and words

 

An understanding

a calming

but also an invigorating moment when noise and silence compromise and give birth.

 

Its a language that speaks tones that bandage your tattered soul

directing every wrong desire to your truest pole

drawing yourself much farther from the world's storm

Its the language of your essence beyond form

 

So a duet is a conversation,

two souls, one melody,

every phrase rising and falling and becoming

witness to another's vulnerability.

 

Listen.

When we are together,

we are the greatest song ever played,

because when our bodies collide

our lips sing harmonies that could violently start and silently break callous stone hearts.

 

What we have is the lifeblood and medicine of humanity

going past all the cacophony it opens up the purest of realities.

 

We are an understatement of how a single emotion strums the strings of our hearts strung forever on our keys of life.

Our verse, strangely the world's most obvious innuendo

and our chorus, a truth that brings life to a whispering crescendo.

 

Do you feel my pulse?

Now take a breath.

Un-pause

and let the music play.

Beautiful! Music is the universal language, something hardly anyone can deny as a pleasure and even infants appreciate. The language in this astounds me, it is so perfectly compiled; "an invigorating moment when noise and silence compromise and give birth." That line is stunning to me. And God, so true.

You end this perfectly, a metaphor of you being as the player, the speaker for this music so to speak. I am relatively new here but have rad a lot of pieces but this is the first one I'm adding to my library. Amazing write man.

Oh sweet music...
So a duet is a conversation,
two souls, one melody,

Wonderful! Music is so powerful and you make that very clear in your writing about it! I have never read any poems about music and that makes this one my favorite! (And it will probably remain that way!)
