melodic symmetry
By Taunting The Reaper
I heard a song today.
it rose from the tangled pits
of lost souls
and I wondered
why the earth stood still
while it played just for me.
it’s as if it froze the world
just to whisper in my ear
and so I sinned…
the greatest of sins.
I welcomed in its beauty
and drank in its wretchedness
because it’s the only way
I knew to caress
its melodic textures.
while I sat in the sun
admiring the darkness
I finally understood
its divine symmetry:
our plights
are penciled into paper rainbows
just for laughs
just for sorrow
just for anything worth living for.
