The Pianist's Poet
January 7, 2020
My distinct opposition,
Vague to fleeting gaze, yet sharp in passions parallel.
Can thou not purge thyself of composed duty for a second to birth composition?
You the pianist and I the poet…
Harnessing the sway of vernacular seductions and haunting inked melodies?
Is the stroke of ivory not unlike the lucid stroke of a quill?
A tender caress of the soul, the convict that flees from the fingers? That burgeons on the mesmerizing precipice of illusion?
We, weighted by that oppressive mistress “Ingenuity,” so keen to let her tramp across our pages and keys.
Can thou not find inspiration in me?
