Amplified Questions

amplified questions   

I sit alone atop a mountain
my guitar in hand
peering out over the valley below
beyond green patched rifts
playing in the key of lost dreams
fractured chords out of tune with 
decisions in distorted decibels
high volume idiocy wailing
as I telecast amplified questions
which now return to me
in the feedback of my own doing

Yeah, I think you have been burning the late night mystic oil. Ha ha ha. Love and more love to you, bro.

I have been a little tired lately, maybe that's it. :)

Very existential cool, this poem is, Chris. The musical metaphors are spot on. This is a 7 up poem for sure. It's a fave too w/lines like ... high volume idiocy wailing. That is some creative mojo you conjured up, my friend. Have you been burning the midnight jojoba oil? Love this poem though. Very consciousness expanding poetry. Love and joy to you.

Thanks so much my friend. I am so happy you liked this one. I just wanted to project a feeling of regret and a little loneliness in an abstract musical themed way. I wasn't sure if I got it or not.

Keep asking you for music, ain't I a real li'l pest, lol. I love your poems, always, and especially so when your music comes in.

Hi Chris, You've painted a good picture with your words. It was a bit dark yet still beautiful. The metaphors and imagery flowed together well. We all have unanswered questions in our lives. A without a doubt seven:-) Alexis
