Her Violin
May 20, 2014
Nimble fingers fly
Upon the gilded strings
Yielding to the beauty
Of emotive melodies.
The bow strokes the chord
A sigh of ecstasy
Breathes into the air
Erasing enmity.
Her softly swaying dance
A fluid flowing stream
From the pressing of a chord
To the humming of a string.
Its magic twirls the air
Awakening in dreams
Soothing stormy minds
And evoking memories.

i kow. I'm actually a violinist too, and although i didn't say this, i thought you captured the beauty of the instrument so well.

^w^ Being a violinist, that was awesome! I absolutely LOVED the intricate wording you used to describe such beauty! Music truly has power, much like the words of this poem.

I mean it. Hey, kind of off topic, have u read any of my stories by any chance? It's just I'm kind of new to teen ink, and I really really really want to know what people think of my stories/poems. You totes don't have too, it would just be super uper awesome! :)
I play the violin and I must say it is the world's most beautiful (and hardest to play) instrument.
