Orpheus and His Instrument
Orpheus strums the lyre, taming each sweet thread
A sound dripping honey, melody dancing through head
He gives even stones a will
And golden sun, facing him, stands still
Orpheus strums the lyre, mastering each pastel note
A medium drawn of harmony, love song he wrote
He welds harden hearts with fire
And the wooden beauty, loving him, joins the choir
Orpheus strums the lyre, faltering each adagio
A sharp screech, sound of silver fangs kills slow
He closes her raven eyes
And the cold of hell, tormenting him, allows no goodbyes
Orpheus strums the lyre, playing until fingers bled
A ballod weeping tragedy, chamber song to resurrect the dead
He pleas with even gods
And the weakness of man’s spirit, betraying him, destroys natural laws
Orpheus strums the lyre, fighting the concerto colored red
A whine of want, turing, her shadow hovers overhead
He takes breath even from his own chest

And the bond of sleep, stealing him, reunites lovers in rest
