Bonds
By JodetteP
The pat of the
pad of my
fingers.
On the black keys
and the white
ones.
Leaving marks and print,
maybe stains of
grease.
Soft touch, gentle tickling,
sweep across silently,
maybe.
Sweeping across silently but
playing very much
noisily.
I like the loud music,
the very strong
music.
I like what it
does to my
ears.
What it does to
my body it
does.
It does things like
dancing and jumping
around.
And all this is
done in my
home.
With my dear family-
my parents and
sister.
This is what we
do all the
time.
The black keys are
times of our
quarrels.
And the white stands
for the lovely
moments.
They leave prints and
marks on our
memories.
But I like these
ups and these
downs.
They make life how
life should be
like-
With more white keys
than blacks keys
alive.
We make music and
we dance and
sing.
Together.

Hi! This is written for dVerse‘s weekly OpenLinkNight :D
If you like reading or writing poetry then quick! Go check it out!
they make life how it sould be…nice…i like the symbolism you give the white and black keys…and life is full of those ups and downs…but hopefully a bit of dancing as well…
Thanks, haha! And about the dancing- totally going to need that! I’m glad you enjoyed the poem :)
I loved the way you dealt with white keys and black keys and how both are needed. Yes, I like music loud too. And ups and downs are part of life’s dance!
Thank you for your kind words :) Cyber-five for loud music! I like a strong beat going with a catchy tune… never grows old :D
Always good to dance and sing!
Sure is! :)
Brings back memories. We had lots of fun around the piano when I was growing up.
Hmmm… good old times aren’t they? :) Do you play the piano now?
