Music




there are no words

that can ferry one
to the dark abyss
to the depths of sadness
of a broken heart
of the death of a soulmate
of a betrayal so shattering
it turns your face from the light
and closes your eyes forever

it takes  the tears of a guitar

  1. It takes the tears of a guitar.. such a heartfelt close. No doubt the feelings of loss and devastation are such that shatter our soul. Powerfully expressed. Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights.

    Lots of love,
    Sanaa

  3. the tears of the guitar...loved that line.
    Just finished a great novel about a fictional guitar player: "The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto." Highly recommended.

  4. It is powerful how the addition of rhythm and sound to words conveys feeling and a sense of not being alone more so than written words alone - described beautifully here..
