as every ear tuned in 
to hear the song without the words 
that sang itself to him. 

But someone...

Heartstrings- For Hearth and Home

Pardon me, did you just heave…
“Aye, that’s right, you can leave”
Good you give me the heave-ho…
“Don’t say, just leave this ship-
You’re ban from the trip”
But wait, I demand to know
Why heart throbs callous fate…
Or naught’ say in this state?
Then, I get’...

Her fragrance hesitant to leave the room
The clock  had struck midnight

brings my heart to whimper
of the string pulling it from its...

Carefully you tread
Tiptoe in silence
Holding inhaled breath
Fear heavy footsteps
Breaking through thin ice....

The strings of my heart are pulled taut like a bow
A tension within sourced deep down below
Too many odd dreams, inside me it seems,
Their wretched whispers, a bleak audio

They reach out and grasp my heartstrings impure
Why do they all hold so much allure?

I smiled when your eyes met my own 
As feet soft as silk touched my skin

When a heart breaks, it truly breaks
Your heartstrings become weaker
Sometimes they snap

Love is a game to me
A game of Simon says
Play my heartstrings like a harp
Maybe you will get the right melody

A soft, sweet thing, this melody
Almost ethereal, nearly heavenly
Perhaps that's what I want it...

Gently strum  my heartstrings, 
So  I  can  produce  the  melody. 

The  kind  that  softens  the  heart, 
The  melody that  awakens  the  soul, 
That  which  sets  us ...
