Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Music Piercing the Soul

A riff
from and old song
  makes it's way 
  into your heart
     Emotions you
had forgotten well
up inside you
     The theme conjures 
 up memories
       of friends, lovers
        and wine - intoxicated 
evenings
The moon overhead
is the same old moon
        but you're not 
quite yourself
      lost in nostalgic 
reveries
        you move into 
a waking dream
         ready to touch 
the fire
       gingerly
Eros and memory
combine 
              to form 
images in the 
core of your being
       the tones bring 
you back
        to a time when
life opened it's 
doors for you 
Things have changed 
  since then
but the riff
        opens up 
your mind
       Music can 
paint the past and the future
Let melody be your guide
The world holds 
  a place for you 
       Let the notes 
bring you there
where you should be
At the junction 
of the past, present 
and future
   where the real 
and the unreal 
meet
Casting their spells 
in the face of eternity
