Tie My Heart

tie my heart with ribbons and play them with musical lines, crescendo past fortissimo and ritardando with every lie. pluck me like a string instrument who has forgotten her melody. find my meadow of golden lilies where hummingbirds make harmony. take me far from staves and note-heads and lead me to the grainy shore where on overtones my soul will feed to seed my every core. tie my heart with ribbons, please, but I make one last plea - play me like a classic, and not some forgotten piece.
