The symphony

Tonight

I see in you

The symphony

of an orchestra of time

you

Release the trapped

Doves of Salem

you

Keep the winds 

From blowing away the sails

you

Clear the pain

of the cold dark ground

you

Making the belles

Sound out the walls

you 

Fill the silent rooms

with laughter

The symphony of love

Entwined in my body

I lace your words

To be engraved 

The locket of us

engaged in a kiss

You have always been

And in symphony 

Gently placed 

The violin in the highest float

A harp of tranquil sea

Piano interlude 

Flute flying on stage

Drums of racing feet

You

The words that fear sound

Visiting the sun 

In the symphony

lovely ..these for me are stunning ..words i say to myself ..oh ..how i wish i had thought of that ;)
"I lace your words
To be engraved

The locket of us
engaged in a kiss"

i tried to look up Doves of Salem and found nothing ..is it something from your own beautiful mind or from some writing of antiquity or even the present?
your "The Symphony" is one of far more than instruments ...like this:
"you

Clear the pain
of the cold dark ground" ... i feel so much in those words ..nice one my friend!

Almost a compete contrast to your Kill and Idol piece...
I wonder if this is what we hear when we have no idols left.

This is what I heard when I found one person that took my breath away

Amazing use of words. They took the reader to places of music, situations and to the symphony. The words were alive and strong. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This is so lyrical. I like the repetitive you's at the beginning and you fade it beautifully into the rest of the piece. The comparison to instruments is perfection.

[Nisreen]

Thank you for your words :)

I found this to be both very romantic and flowing just as a piece from a symphony. Great work, RiverSided!
