Sometimes A Melody

Sometimes
There's a hollow inside
that no one else is meant
to hear
yet I wish my words
would
evaporate
to notes
because sometimes music
meets you
in the silence
beside tears...

A tune
can trick you, touch you
when there is a deep
chill in the night air
that holds you

Words
are magic
sometimes
That's true

but in blue glass
moments
of far away traffic talking
and peepers peeping
and the soft silence of moments
that might have
been

It's the melody
that meets you

where no one
else
can

Where hearts hold hands
and toes never
touch the ground and lips...
lips only dream

of dancing.
