Melody Poem by Joshua Adeyemi

It started on D - flat,
succulent & succinct
soft & rhythmic
loaning hearts pats.
the wail of the piano
caressing the voices' glissando

riffs tampered with the tune,
notes trailing tracks of crest,
demisemiquaver pruned
by the demigod crochet:
parts of belts

accompanying baritone,
baroque & tormenting bass
nursing decrescendo,
an atlas

And then clef,
embellishing the melody,
encore spill the best,
swift fortemente

Hearts lured,
esophagus of the musician
shifting. Pure
steps moving in pleasure,
as the lyrics complimented
the melody

A coda:
a flat accompaniment
severed the passion
as the keys & notes did melt

tumult in rhythm,
sundry languages inflected
the lyrics.

like concerto grosso
of courante on
bagpipes, accordion,
harps, obeos & paino.

now we're stuck
in the maze of this music,
no virtuoso could make meaning of
the tune, lyrics or melody

but we're moving our bodies,
till those that gets weary
goes to hear death's string.
