Thanks SJ and Stroke of Luck for the kind words. Here's one I just finished writing.

Musician
Feeling your soul, I sit back
quieting the beat of my heart
moments like these, I want you back
but the smallest rejection may tear me apart
I stare as your hands hypnotize the strings
if only that were me underneath those tips
closing my eyes, I memorize everything
like the exact spot where your dimples dip
smile for me. I see the corners of your lips tug
I took my first breath when I kissed you
that mouth; my potent drug
you nod as if you already knew
my breath holds at your every blink
holding like arms in the night
in the waves of your hair, I want to sink
what’s wrong about feeling this right
tears jump across my eyelashes
do you mind if I fiend for you; enjoy the rush
my face welcomes the quiet splashes
memories behind the iris, make angels blush
I catch your gaze and it speaks to me
questions burst from the lid
you wait, but I don’t want you to see
the crowded answers pleading for your bid
my heart pulls until taut
but it doesn’t break and crumble
your eyes, unfocused, trapped in thought
cords scream as your fingers fumble
lyrics sputter as time resumes
your trust; give me time to mend
love eats at me, it consumes
but I will wait for your song to end
