The Poem
plinking echoes
reverberating resonance—
a wind blows softly
through the moonlit oculus,
a clerestory casement —
fingers ease down,
then slowly release.
velvet dampens
the crystalline cascade
shimmering slightly
in ivory soft notes—
together a chord—
bleeding one into the other
whilst scaling,
digits dancing off
alabaster accidentals
onto ebony enamel.
upon the airy wind
lament emerges—
swelling hypnosis,
a ghostly,
reedy legato drift
weaving its slow
melancholy movement
through the soul.
darkness surrounds
but for the pale, wanton
moonbeam
hauntingly cast
upon the duet
of spectral sorrow—
sirening
their delicate dirge.
