Guitar String

It's a chord 
 easily struck, softly strummed
 hovering on a mind obsessed possesed
delusional hums,
pining emotions, 
 feelings, love, heartache on the run.

Play a song for me, 
 slow then hurry 
 on flightless wings
hidden meanings on the tightened guitar strings
vibrating in the air 
 fuzzy, delightfully whimsical
 dreams of love and desire 
hanging on the crevice in the pinnacle,
like a needle 
 threading through 
 the eyes of the heart, 
 clear and pure yet sightless,
let the melody play 
vibrant, 
focused and demure.

Hear the music, 
 listen well, 
 play it on your heartstrings,
the rhythmic marmalade 
of uplifted swells
 the blissful timbre 
 of the resonant stringed guitar spell.
