Sonnet For a Guitar Player

I can hear the crowd clapping as you strum, 
transfixed you open another portal; 
With each note becoming more overcome 
easily you take a piece of their soul;

Every single person captivated;
Without uttering one melodic sound 
all five senses are left elevated, 
eliminating the rest king uncrowned;

Improvisation colors every chord
held them in the palm of a jam session; 
Swallowing every long extended sword,
transferred them to a solid progression;

Taking in pain and exhaling grandeur,
the tortured soul of a guitar player.
