Sonnet.1.My Guitar Poem by Valsa George

Sonnet.1.My Guitar

Rating: 5.0


Oh! Guitar, what music hides in thy heart
That awaits the touch of my soft fingers
As my digit ends move over you in quiet
What melody flows, how it my spirit triggers
Every chord in thee is fastened so tight
If one is loose, the notes run dissonant
With thy melody, thou sustain my heart light
Wonder what sprite hides in this instrument
As I listen to thy finely tuned sounds
How I am kept long suspended in time
To what heights then my wearied soul rebounds
Making my spirit afloat in celestial rhyme

Oh music, flood in me to drown my pain
Can any on Earth your healing power disdain

The waves of a pleasant sound are not only felt through the ears, it touches the whole of our body. A sensation for whole of our body is transmitted to our souls and our souls reflect it again to our body as a magic. Snakes, and plants have no ears but they are also amused by these waves. Sound and waves are simultaneous. A great poem, thanks for sharing.

Thank goodness. at last! i really do want to close up the showcase until my upcoming (in 3 days) trip is complete. your poem and perhaps one more should do it! ! ! thanks. and i haven't even finished reading the poem! thou sustain didn't sound right at first. it still sounds 'funny' [to ME], but i guess it IS grammatically correct! :) (cont.)

Melodious music played by your Guitar, Was it the music that flowed down to your fingers, right from your heart, or the lovely spirit, played the music for you... It quenches one's soul, When you are drowned, in the flood of pain. It refreshes our heart when each fingers touches the magical strings. Yes, we are the music lovers Please never stop it playing further Valsa Dear! ! ! !
