hour four

his fingers stroke the strings

the guitar sings the melody

the music creeps into my head

the lyric goes straight to my heart

filling me totally, an endless

feeling, coursing through my veins…

my mind reading the melody

converting it to colors and light

reducing me to tears…

and he smiles, and a wink as

the strain fades…

  1. hour four is a beautiful poem. I found myself re-reading this a number of times in appreciation. I love this lyrical poem and it is ironic in that it is very lyrical and it is about music itself-perfect! I love the ending too…”and he smiles, and a wink as the strain fades.”” Perfect! Well done!
