Words of a Love Song
January 2011 (9th Grade)

A frantic melody of love and desire soaring through the interrupted rain.
The beauty of one, thousands of miles away, shine through the mist
only to be remembered in the persistence of memory.
I take a step up, onto the staff of his ballad.
Jumping on the notes to produce the sound.
Halt to a stop at the end of the measure.
I walk along the side of his little hidden words,
seeping out of the opening between his lips.
I sing along to the beat of the undertone bass,
and get lost as it brings out his true colors.
The song drips off his quivering lips
as it swirls all around me.
I could sing along for hours.
It follows me everywhere,
even when I'm sleeping.
Makes me smile after I've been weeping.
So I'll take it very slow,
analyze the words,
ponder in the meaning,
and really start listening.
As the rain goes,
I see it clearly.
The rhythem of the song
floating in the air.
I lay down in a field of roses,
and let myself drift away with the words of a lovesong.
