orchestra

self-deprecating thoughts

swirling, gathering strength, multiplying on my naiveté

signal percussion to set the stage

winds chime in and strings finish last

soliloquies go unheard

blaring through my mind

a dynamic crescendo

the conductor, a wizard in her own right, flailing for the completion

higher and higher, louder and louder

 one giant arc of the wand

instant silence settles synonymously severing senseless sentiments

Addicted

the memory of sweet, sweet release obliterates my mind

tendrils of seductive emotions twist and entwine up around my will

flexin’ and bendin’ it towards that devious little monster on my shoulder

succumb to me

it orders

MUSIC

I’m trying to describe that feeling when you just give yourself up to the music.

Have you experienced that?

When that specific song comes on; the melody triggering memories of another time. Closed eyes, you let your inhibitions and self-consciousness melt away to immerse yourself into the flow and darkness of the music. Vibrations in the air, surging through your body, hands, and fingertips.  Surrounding strangers on their own trip would only see the peace wash over my face, lips mouthing the lyrics, good vibes radiating from my movements.

I’m lit from within. Stillness in the chaos. High notes, low notes, verse, bridge, and climax.
