Pale
fingers playing on the strings
Of a
cold and timeworn violin.
Misty
night and dead old trees,
Sway
to her song of melancholy.
Screaming
and wailing her silent thoughts,
Frozen
tears on the violin chords-
Emote-soulful
music she plays,
All
night long, till the silver fades.
Rendition
of notes builds a beautiful delusion,
Only
to shatter on her lover’s tomb.
Beneath
the moonlight, in Mystic Falls,
Her
stoic self wraps a heart with tears.
To calm
her fears
To
find way back home
She
returns with music, every night,
To her
lover’s age old tomb.

'Frozen tears on the violin chords' AND 'Her stoic self wraps a heart with tears' are two most beautiful lines I have read in recent times. Lovely play of words. Sad poem but beautiful expression.
