She takes the stage
Seated at the bench
Her fingers delicatly trace
The preconcieved pattern
The first note rings from
Her darkened melodic thoughts
And as her hands sweep
Across the nameless keys
The audience lets out
Their held breaths
And their tongues so filled
With caution are held as well
The high notes ring
In every ear, and
Every thunderous low
Pierces the thoughts of
One more person
The puzzling rythym
And the deep melody
Of all her thoughts
Dreams of love fulfilled
And she thinks she has
No love to give
She thinks she is nothing
And the audience knows
Her thoughts through minor chords
As the last notes are pounded
With such fierce aggression
There isn't a dry eye in the crowd
The last chord weeps of depression
And the sightless faces
Are tear soaked with realization
And as the priest takes the tape
And hands it to her parents
The pall-bearers carefully lower
The casket into ground
Her audience weeps because
They witnessed her melodic, lyrical tragedy

Her final minuet

I find it hard to write after a while personally. And even posting on here after an extended time seems a bit weird. I've recently done the same.

I was refered to your poem by an unknown writer. I must admit that this poem is well written. It is similar in a lot of ways to this poem I wrote called "Concert in L-minor"

"And sorrows song
rings with much laughter
on tongues of old
and bitter men."

"The words echo throughout the theatre
All the instruments playing perfectly
Every voice ringing on key
And then it is over
The conducter opens his eyes and exits the stage
alone"

You definately have something to say as the unknown writer has pointed out, and I will be adding your name to those poets I check out when I read.

This is not bad. Your poem reminds me of one I wrote called Concert in L-minor. If you get a chance to read it tell me what you think. You poem has a more graphic ending than my poem and your poem is longer but what they speak about is very similar. Great write.
