Melodies

A poem inspired by the mighty works of Peter Tchaikovsky.

Sprung from heavens
Painted more beautiful
Than their own realities,
Each note crowning
On the one before
In a string of bold rhythms
and soaring melodies.
Born in the passions
Of a master
Brought to life
In the virtuoso's gentle hand.
Incredible, intense emotion
Rising with you
As the crescendo builds upward
Waiting, breathless -
Until it crashes
Upon your mind
Like the ocean
Against a cliff
So sudden and brilliant
Leaving its eternal mark.
