Broken Strings

by Ashvin Mistry

She broke a feather on an evening spring,
across the string with a ticklish swing.

Melodic notes groaned taught in slumber, 
dream't whispers of silent expectancy 
with seismic climatic intensity.

Held in captivity, 
captured by memories, 
a delicious coalesce,
for my waning questioning sanity.

Entwined in flight, 
bound by my thoughts, 
as each note played it's beckoning part.

To make it weep so, with an idle stroke, 
a joyous fling to a coaxing heart, 
and send a rhythmic call alas I hope, 
to draw me near into her grasp.
