You and
I – worlds apart yet so close;
Distance
cannot keep the minds apart
Lonely
nights, anxious days,
Trapped
inside building made of glass,
Are we going to survive the carnage of the boring days
And
stay sane for the art we conjure when darkness falls?
…
Drunk
from the stars I open my white sheet
Ready
to take the pen with my trembling fingers,
If it
is a music - let it be heavy soften by harplike sound.
Guitar
riffs battle with the tender tune – dance between a brute force and a mellow
touch…
Where
does it ends?
You
are starting with the song so slow yet relevant to me,
As
if you are afraid that I might hear the pain hidden behind the strings pulled
so perfectly
But
still here we are…
Beneath
the gentle touch of your rough fingertips, I come strong
I am
turning it into the darker piece – my guitar strings tightening the artistic
grip,
Let’s
rise it up a notch – a bit sharper, strummed even unrepentant as if I am possessed by something else.
Can’t
you feel the fire burning up inside me – creation vs creator; battle between
two titans?
Are
we giving up our souls to the beauty of this midnight creativity, fully
engulfed by our inner fears unleashed to roam freely the room?
Or are
we keep pretending that we are unhappy ”artists” unable to create?
We
are so undoubtedly consumed by those choruses, the air quivers – we have gone
beyond.
Note
by note we spiral into distortion – pulling these chants from very skin and
bones!
Riff
by riff until we are out of breath with fingers bloodied from this melody war.
And
here we are again – You and I – striking another chord – a refrain that roars
thought the sweetness of the room
Before
dragging it back to the hollow world of grey walls.
…
Hush
follows as it should, you are tired, fingers lifted from the magic harp -
Ready
for goodbye.
I
am sitting quietly on the piano ready to play the forbidden lullaby.
The
piece is still unfinished, notes left unplayed.
I am
leaving the sounds of the lower octaves to echo because unlike you my song is
finished -
A bit
darker yet deliberately incomplete…
