Our hearts are born
With strings attached
Hung like marionettes
To be manipulated
Strung like harps
To be played.

Masterpiece
Happy Throwback Thursday, readers! Today I’m reblogging a poem originally posted in early March, about the emotional potency of music. I believe that any genre of music has the power to evoke strong emotional reactions and can also offer a place of relaxation, comfort, solace or energy to the listener at times when they need it most.
Audio artistry,
Phonic poetry,
Soundtrack of dreams,

Sing Out – A Tanka
Open your mouth wide
And sing loud for all to hear,
Forget fear and pride;
Music is a gift, that’s clear –
Spread your tune to ev’ry ear!

I enjoyed Colleen’s Weekly Poetry prompt “gift” & “song” so much that I actually wrote a second poem – this one a tanka. I know I’m posting it after the deadline, but I still wanted to share!

Since it’s Throwback Thursday, I thought I’d repost one of my older poems today – in fact, the first poem I ever published, back in February this year.

If you’ve never listened to it, please do – it is an utterly beautiful, heart-wrenching melody.
Forlorn strings
And tinkling ivories, twinkling ivories;
Mesmerising, comforting,
Haunting,

Artwork a symphony of harmonic colour;
Music melodious poetry.

Run
Go.
Go now.
Get out of here.
Flee from your every fear,
Protect all that you hold dear.
Run.
Run faster.
Run until red in the face,
Hasten your steps, quicken the pace,
Closeted demons are giving chase.
Music
Music is my life-blood;
Melodies coursing through my veins
Make my heart beat in rhythm,
Pumping and pulsing to
Drown out the noise;
