Fragile lives

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
fragile lives, with flesh and blood
lie rotting sans vehemence
and now all is still.
it is in this quietude
that I must drown
myself and
that inner voice of mine.
