    • is unsure if the poetry I've written lately is too angsty/private/poorly written to post or not. Hmmmm.

    Guitars

    The scream of the electric
    The croon of the acoustic
    The energy of the country
    The beauty of the classical

    Fingers calloused from strumming
    Hear the strings humming
    Head down, listen to the sound
    Get yourself up off the ground
    And dance

    Dance with energy, dance with passion
    Being real never goes out of fashion
    Head up, hear it ring in your ears
    Face beaming and shining with tears
    Just dance

    No words to express how you feel
    Just know that this feeling is real
    Beauty in every beat of your heart
    'Til you feel like you'll fall apart
    So you dance

    You dance to the sounds you love so much
    You dance to the sounds you can't touch
    So perfect and beautiful you want to shout
    Cry, scream, laugh, jump, run about
    And dance

    The sounds that ring in your heart and mind
    Expressing the words you could never find
    Whispers in your mind shouted in notes
    Chords and lyrics that someone else wrote
    So you could dance

    Because dancing expresses how you feel
    Dancing makes you finally feel real
    Joyous noise, laughing and shouting
    Never more wishing or doubting
    Just dance

    The scream of the electric
    The croon of the acoustic
    The beat of the country
    The peace of the classical

    I like it. It doesn't make me want to dance, but I like it. (Of course, not much makes me want to dance.)

    This I know. :p Maybe my new goal should be to write something that makes you want to dance. :p

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
