Melodies trapped in your gaze
Music muse
Rhythms send you astray
Little toy soldier
Sings along with the band
Alone no composure
Mistakes the lyrics for words
Lost lamb
Humming the chords
Chasing another’s dream
Scarecrow
Unravel your seams
Idolizing what you can’t comprehend
Roar like a lions
An empty chest like tin men
Surviving on snippets
Swaying puppet
Blind Alice after tea and crumpets
Journey to enlightenment
blinded pride
Masquerading false sentiment
Roads faded and worn
Chasing your tail
Forgetful squirrel
Pondering notes repeating words
A piano with no keys
Posing pretentiously lacking allure
Bewildered and scattered
Stagnant and lost
Following faint song bird chatter
Awakened suddenly
Words become lyrics
Ego kept you blind
Music is feeling
Note, chord, and every line
Passion and pain
She was your song, your lyrics, your cords
Made every note dance without a word
Revealing feeling chased for eternity
The show lights dim
Redness and salt fill your rims
Without the feeling
Lyrics return to words
Agony pounds in your chest
Big brown eyes full of adore
Harmonious melody
Your shameful scorns
Resentful of her interruption
Egocentric invulnerability
Scoffed at her simple construction
Great wide world
For you to see
Worm on a hook, you thought
Captivity is not for me
Digesting those words
Starring at the sky
Buckling on all fours
Begging to take back
Hurt you adorned
Breathless sobs
Music muse with no voice
Eyes that held every lyric
Never in words
Her song awakened your spirit
Devastated you never paused to hear it
Alice, Tin Man, scarecrows and lions
You always needed more
Greed, Ego, false Zion
Searching, and circling
Every corner seeking
She was always there in every tune
broken hearted
Wishing on the same moon.
