Scattered..

In to your soothing hands

I offered,

myself, entrusting

your heart,

to beat as one with mine,

hoping the rhythm of your body,

takes me to the altissimo

and entwines me in an enharmonic interval

before the chords explode 

into earth shattering beats

sending me into rapturous rhapsodies

and the heart into deep content,

lost in your covenant to be merged

into one, and become

ethereal and eternal.

         ****

The  percussion ceases,

even before it climaxes

the cymbals, the timpani and the tambourine fall silent,

I watch helplessly

as the chords plummet

and fall to their deaths

a double bar silences me even before

we could

Quaver and crotchet, Stave and clef
the covenant shattered
the duet scattered
dreams lying in the shards
broken not by the treble
but the Judas kiss
and now all is still

it is in this quietude

that I must drown

myself and

that inner voice of mine.
