a handhold on infinity
Folder:
hourglasses sigh with confident assurance
four sensual fingers
and a nimble thumb point inward
gently awakening
sweet raindrops of sound
from six steel strings.
hand cupped to hold the universe against a wall of melody.
with self conscious awareness
four determined fingers
and a deftly curled thumb
pour pictures of souls
onto virgin pages
playing blue lines like strings.
hand clenched to wrench the secrets of the universe into fluid ink.
with intuitive sensuality
four playful fingers
and perhaps even a thumb
orchestrate ecstacy
from trembling flesh
slipping under seams of silk thread.
hand open to caress the universe into beginning all over again.
holding time itself to start and stop at your whim.
how does one single hand
hold an entire ocean
of intensity
in each act
of creation?

I've always wanted to learn
I've always wanted to learn how to play a guitar, this poem just really gave me all the motivation I need. Great write.

Wow, thank you!! you
Wow, thank you!! you definitely should, i've tried but being a visual person i just don't care enough about sound to put the time into it. that's why i paint instead :) but being a good poet, by learning guitar you can write really good songs, and your lyrics will be better than the crap on the radio :) my boyfriend (who i wrote this for) is a poet/songwriter and his poetry skills give him a huge advantage over other guitarists. you're a really good poet too and would have a similar advantage.

Orchestrated Ecstacy...
the poem says this over and over and over and it is so well repeated that the words become notes and the notes turn into wings that can attain any place universal or immediate - in an instant! - Just Bein Stella
