snared

I’m skin stretched taut on
Rims of fabled home and
Melancholy holly holiday
Skin stitched in and deeply pounded
booming, I’m a drum
punctuating our parades
and rolling in your presence
and I whisper
it’s a symbol, with a cymbal
that when you tap me out like rain
I’m natural like a
Heart’s sound, now
I’m high and low, how drums go
You are my sticks my
Instruments and lead
Singing
Beautiful

It’s a seamless rhythm
In this melody, we are.
And our life flows on lyrics
I can finally hum along,

Whether you reverberate with
Steady bass,
or our notes pierce,
as sometimes they will,
the music is love.
What is more natural, than music?

And if a drum
Is how I’m in tune today
You have me
And I’ve you
Snared
and ever flowing more gorgeously

  Hell yeah. So many great lines, here. I'm just mesmorized, like a Jimmy Page solo. Just loved your metaphor in this one. This is the best I've read all night.

  ...if there really was a drumbeat playing to this, the drummer would have a porno 80s moustache. He would be playing mega-porno slow silky rhythmic beats... the kind of beat that makes you want to get down and dirty or maybe take a shower (but not alone)
