music—overwhelmed with passion thrumming
through veins loaded with life’s elixir, heart pumping
tha-thump-tha-thump within a torso pleading for
release from earthly confines such as the pain of love
and killed dreams dreamed in the moonlight’s glow
and under starlit ceilings…whirring thoughts
click—click—click—click pen tops prey to nervous
habits born of a too busy brain…voices cavorting
through the air, slipping into eager ears from headphones
small and ineffectual yet loved all the same, mimicking
sounds of eons long and gone past…
Written for #PoeticalCondition's Love Letter to Myself contest.

Written to: "I Dreamed a Dream" as sung by Anne Hathway in Les Misérables.

Nice rhythm to the piece. Given the subject material, that rhythm is entirely effective - flowing, and yet with a noticeable, almost trans-like pulse. The onomatopoeia just made it all the more effective. A fun read. :)
