Poems - songs that i could die to

songs that i could die to

by delapruch

there are certainly songs that i could die to
melodies so perfect that they command a leaving of reality
that they insist upon the inability to feel pain
that they conjure up the beauty within &
defeat all attempts by the outer world to
destroy us---
there are songs that slow down time to the point
where the enjoyment of the minutes, of the seconds
becomes possible,
as each sound, each sonorous morsel
brings with it a purity that allows the individual to interpret it in
any way that they would like &
if this could sing me into that sweetest of
silences,
i’m sure that a perfect personal kind of justice might
arise.

music and song does indeed play such a huge part in the lives we live - encompassing our joys and sorrows when appropriate. Love your words here - so well expressed. I wrote a poem along these lines called Rhythm of Life - I'd love for you to read it, if you have a moment.

Again, great work - I enjoyed this very much.

This resonates with me..I know a few songs like that, those that give me hope and remiond me that I am alive. A great ode to music.
