Is there music in your head,
that no one else can hear?
Does it soar with your heart,
and tremble with your fear?

Does the beat get faster,
when your blood starts to rush?
Do the trumpets sound alarm,
When emotions run and gush?

Is there music in your head,
that only you can make?
Is it pure and crystal clear,
or does it waver with mistakes?

Are there violins to cry,
when she kicks you in the teeth?
And little bells to whimper,
when you take her back next week?

I think there’s music in your head,
which I know I will soon find.
I can feel drums retardando
when you slow down and unwind.

I’ll hear guitars scream in rebellion,
when you’ve finally had too much.
And a cymbal crash of glory,
as you stand without her crutch.

Because there’s music in your head,
growing louder every day.
Come, share your song with me,
and I’ll teach you how to play.

Music is from the Greek god of chaos, I love music it's poetry through and through, and sometimes you get a song that just stays with you; you can't get it out of your head. The first time it happened, to me, I was eight and it was that stupid little ann

Hate to love it, but it's beautiful. I give you a dead rose, because you tore and pushed and exposed me--I am naked. Love ya

*brings tears to my eyes and heart* how i wish someone could teach me. I'm a musician, not a poet, and i try to express myself with my viola or percussion, but i think you're talking about going beyond what I've accomplished. :) something to look forward

hahah. as litteratus said below me, it's refreshing to see sight and flow together, it's such a rare combination these days. very well done.

Wonderful work. It is good to see a poet with rhythm and vision at her command. This poem makes me wish that the music in my head wasn't the oft-mediocre stuff on the radio!

Heh...I'll admit that the beginning was a bit to sing-songy for me. And it kinda reminded me of a nursery rhyme...of a sort...but that ending really got me. Changed my whole perspective.

its wonderful, really it is. but you asked for criticism. therefore, you shall get it if i can possibly think of any. and all i can think of is p'raps "that i know i soon will find" rather than 'will soon'. otherwise though. MAN. GOOD. -B

Now that you said that it's been bugging me all day, but I think I'm gonna stick with what I've got. The other way feels like it's trying too hard to have that "mysterious and artsy" air to it. What I've got is natural me.

Thank you, though. I still appreciate your pointing it out.
