Aches Of A Violin

.-G-. .-R-. .-O-. .-O-. .-V-. .-E-. .-S-. pierce my ears, caressing notes to rake tears on such moonlit aches, strings groan through passages on breaths as scrapes of violin lurch; veiled weeping dives low like fine spear falling on my riddled head, as if to crack reeds just there, enthralled by heaves of waved air swelling along melodies tragic in liquid gothic drones, my old innocence plucked raw beyond deep allegro of time; tunes' long drags hard to bear peeling my burnt flesh slow the fine bow screeches, I cry on slain notes

I sing song from your glorious write, and the shape creates a way for this tune to be produced! This is a wonderfully grafted write working with musical notes from scores of pleasurable finds by your gracious hands! You sure can produce the greatest of songs my good friend! You will do well in the contest, I haven't seen such an awesome shape as this! Great Work!!
