Music Cannon
A melody
aims its rays
through a kaleidoscope
into her ear,
shoots them through
a music cannon
to travel the stars
in her eyes
to tremble
in her bones,
chill her heart
to its core.
She tilts her head back,
closes her eyes
but my eyes stay open
I can’t stop gazing
through her
to the piano
she’s playing in her head
And I want to whisper
through her tunnel of
music
so she’ll hear…
Let the shiver
fill you up,
ache for someone
you’ve never met
And when you feel
the music tingling
in your hands
throw it out
to the world,
shoot it through
your music cannon
and sing
with all of your
soul but
stay right here
by the edge of the water,
keep your eyes closed
and in your head
kiss to the beat
of the music.
So that when you open them
the light floods in
and you
see me for what I am,
framed by the music
and when you wake up
it will become
reality.
“Hey,”
I whisper
softly,
standing above that
smile that could
light up the world,
“that was me
playing the duet
with you
in your head.”
