Winters Can Be Treacherous

What's true? That in reflection a guitar cannot

be played, without strings; without frets; without

a neck; without a satin coated body?

Efforts and effects in vain I suspect.

 

Fleetingly in the denim caverns of frayed and broken

jeans breathed a vinyl instrument of that reminisced of

broken strings and blown amps.

Efforts and effects in vain I suspect.

 

Distortion ran rampant, the decibels draining

the silence out like a winter's carnage.

Drifts piling up, I trapped inside a snow cone machine.

Efforts in vain I suspect. The effects are unknown.

 

Frozen on pause, an ice sculpture on a winters day in

the dead of June the amps turned on, strings from the sun

fretted my head and neck, the spring thaw picking my body.

Efforts now operational. Effects soon would be evident.

 

The drops from my prison gravitated downward, hitting

the ground a somber drum beat increased as the measures

wore on, notes going deep for my heart.

Efforts and effects now harmonizing together.

 

I reach into my pocket I pick you, and compose the sounds

that you mean to me. My eyes looking at you as if they where

possessed by symbols. My touch as if it was Guitar being kissed

on every fret. My heart beating like a drum.

 

Effort……….Effect……. Love
