Without Words

Without Words

By: Excalibur

 

Spread out on the soft carpet
Of my bedroom floor
I have plans to relax tonight
That is what good music is for

 

I turn on my portable player
Eager to play my new CD
It begins with track one
And immediately the music speaks to me

 

The singer has such an angelic voice
Her tone has a warm glow
Her words are exact and true
Everything she says is so

 

The lyrics are so percise
About the ways I'm feeling today
And I've ever heard an album
That could put it in such a relative way

 

I sing outloud to the words
That were so easy to find
Then suddenly the collection ends
Disrupting my state of mind

 

Once again I start over
To replay the lovely album once more
But then I realize the girl's voice is gone
And there are not words anymore

 

Amazed, I only listen closer
For the words that had caught me before
Then I realize the label reads "Instrumental Classics"
On my new CD upon my bedroom floor

This is simply beautiful.

Just like writing, the words come out without though, they just flow. And it feels so peaceful, "Her words are exact and true," and understanding "The lyrics are so percise." When you are done, "And there are not words anymore," its because we've sang along or written down as the moment speaks to us. Those moments are unique, and even if we try to start over, you can't cuz the voice is gone.

Very creative. Your words seemed to flow just as peacefully as the music that you were refering to. Loved the fact that you kept the whole piece simple, making sure that your readers are aware of your feeling and the emotions the whole time whilst the music consumes you, making your soul to sing out loud...

Loved the twist at the ending, just comes to show music does tame even the savage beast!

Very neatly written, it shows the way the mind enjoys playing its little tricks upon us, get use of words, they were placed in very strongly, they enabled me to picture exactly whats happening like i was there, i enjoyed your work and plan to keep reading what ever you have to come up, your work made it worth it to read.
