Little Earphones

written by: sweatheart415

Little earphones
(form) like a heart,
The sound of music
A concert of the soul.

A wave of music
Pulses the air,
Pushed by the bass
The beat of your heart

Rock, pop
Metal and country
Alternative
Underground-
Individual,
Sounds and words,
Souls and minds.

An individual
We entrust, enlist
This power,
That's flows through (plastic) veins.

We use it-
And (possibly) abuse it-
To block ourselves off
From the rest of reality.

Our great wall
Our blockade

But can one survive
On music?
Can it sustain
The heart?
The desire,
And longing,
The smile,
The supple skin?

Can we survive alone?
Can one
Survive inside the great wall
Dancing to the beat,
Smiling at the lyrics?

Or must one trust
And let go our blockade
To feel the joy-
Our heart will miss

Do we write the grande finale,
Or let the concert be endless?

A grande finale,
A masterpiece,
Con only be written by the heart.
That knows not only music
But of flesh and words,
Of love and hate;
Of melody and harmony.
