HeartStrings

My very first little bonfire poem! This was written for my friend Jason who, along with his guitar, was also the inspiration. Play on my friend!

From his heart grow strings of gold,
A truer lie was never told,
Sweet notes fall from a pearl'd hold,
Unto sheet music therefore unfold.

No song of might and silken sheets,
Only breath and sky and treats,
Marshmallow'd sticky succulent sweets,
As fire lights benighted streets.

 

A strum of song to fill the air,
Heart-lifting softly sans a care;
So play a heartstring, and pinpoint there,
How aesthetic this- a world so fair.

I'm glad that you specified that you wrote this to the tune of guitar.
it has a very sing-song kind of quality :)
