G Minor

"G Minor"



When he finally sat down at the piano
he could not remember 
how it all began
he hid those notes
and remembered 
who he used to be
before all that -
that door was fast closing
if only he could find the right key

he picked up the keys again

she was lost in - that place -
the place, when her world went away

G Minor, sweet notes
the sound most loved
left with the price to pay

so close,
yet so far away

The lost key

(LadyLabyrinth/ 2019)

Lady Labyrinth March 4, 2019 at 5:20 PM "Whenever flotsam and jetsam meet for a drink they always reminisce about the family's long-lost triplet - lagan. That's the word for goods or wreckage that lie at the bottom of the sea". Lady Labyrinth March 4, 2019 at 10:08 PM John Cowell (Jurist), in his 1607 publication The interpreter: or booke containing the signification of words [what we would now prosaically call a dictionary] wrote of "Flotsen alias (Flotzam)".
