I hear the sound

I hear the sound

As you slowly

Push down the keys

 

Ringing in my ears

The music that comes

From your misery

 

I can feel the pain

In the notes

That you play so hauntingly

 

To be heard

Your songs plead

Life has a way

Of writing these

 

They reach out

And touch me

As if I am

In this life

That I do not lead

 

To connect to us all

They strangely somehow succeed

We are left feeling every drop

That your fingers bleed

Very beautiful

[seaNobody]

I like it a lot. Simple and yet it relates music to our sometimes feelings of finality and loss. It really was a pleasure to read.

"I can feel the pain
In the notes
That you play so hauntingly"
Oh how this line haunts me yet, so powerful and yet so simple. Wonderful poem.

[*~*Butterfly Kisses*~*]

Songs as well as other writes have a way of connecting to our hearts and souls. I believe you conveyed that perfectly here.

Nicely done!

Wow. I love this poem. Really beautiful.

I do like it, especially considering I also play guitar, and there have been times I've literally played until my fingers bled, taped 'em up, and kept on playing! I'd so like to touch people with my writing and musice the way you have described in this! Well done!

Very beautiful.

I keep coming back to this wonderfully written piece. It is so beautifully written and its expressions are so vivid. I can almost hear the music of this pianist. The word play and flow are as beautiful as I imagine this music to be.
I enjoyed this write very much!
Thank you for sharing :)

I like this poem. The strong statements create some wild visions. I like when fingers bleed. Mean took great effort to create music or emotion. Thank you for the excellent poem.

I did and really liked it was a interesting peace of descriptions as the last two verses left something with me of "We are left feeling every drop, that your fingers bleed." and your title was something to hear the sounds of this. Anyways it was a marvelous read. Write on.
