I don't like it as much now as I did when I wrote it, but here it is anyway.


When Music No More Moves Me

I live for the sound of a string quartet
Whisking away my every regret
Letting me close my eyes and forget
Everything outside

Outside of a small room in my mind
Where there is no love or pain or time
Only the moving emotion sublime
Of sweet lyrical ecstasy

Life is not worth living
Care is not worth giving
The dawn is not worth lifting
When music no more moves me

For pain it's not worth crying
For love it's not worth trying
My soul lies wounded dying
When music no more moves me

I live for the sound of an electric guitar
Cutting in front from somewhere afar
Sending the song up into the stars
And crashing back down again

When the song has built up and is ready to blow
And the lead cuts in and makes it explode
It takes hold of my soul and all that I know
Is that I never want the ride to end

Life is not worth living
Care is not worth giving
The dawn is not worth lifting
When music no more moves me

For pain it's not worth crying
For love it's not worth trying
My soul lies wounded dying
When music no more moves me

But let not this burden on me weigh
And god almighty let me pray
That I will never know a day
When music no more moves me

Hmm. Well, I like it as much now as I did when I first read it---which was a while ago, but I was all lame and didn't comment on it. So now I've decided to read it again, and since I still LOVE IT AWESOMETASTICALLY MUCH LIKE THIS THIS MUCH *holds out arms reeeeeeeally wide-ly*, I decided I would comment this time.

SO...here you go. =D

(PS--dear nick, stop stealing my acrostic-comment-writing gimmick. =P sincerely, me.)

I REALLY Like this

I really
Think you have talent. I
'Spose you just have a knack for

Suggesting what
We all feel,
Even in our deepest hearts.
Everything can seem so
Tiresome and boring...

....I understand the sentiment and I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY Like this

well you must love the cello? I love this because, life would be mundane without music, I meet people who have music in their soul, you have a love for it. Which is a pleasure to read what you really feel.

When a man is tired of music, he's tired of life, to mis-quote Samuel Johson (I think.)
I share your sentiments, though not the electric guitar!

Well I like it a great deal. I feel the same about music, may the tune forever play on our souls strings. Smiling at you, Tai, a music lover of every genre
