Piano's Soul

You are black and you are white.
I run my fingers across you.
I remember our first love affair.
Piano, you ghost.
Piano, you demon.
You have such potential and you still collect dust.

You are black and you are white.
I pound on your fragile state.
I force a sound out of ivory and hidden strings.
Piano, you beast.
Piano, you ox.
You do what I tell you, whenever I want.

You are black and you are white.
I will leave you to soak in silence.
I will laugh at your soul, which I give and take.
Piano, you treasure.
Piano, you bed.
I will long for you another day.

Her

 Church is loud and hidden. Full of praise, unprecedented resilience. She bites an apple, then walks into an eternal city. She rests on Sabbath, then battles ignorance. Strong and faulted, given grace and Jerusalem walls. She hides her beauty while Jesus peers significant.

Shy Suicide

Disclaimer: This poem was inspired by someone else's struggle with suicide. Don't worry I am not suicidal. Suicide, why do you hide beneath my white skin? Suicide, why do use my fake smile for your sin? Suicide, why do you keep your cover until the rope is tight, the trigger is pulled, the pills are swallowed, the wrists slit? A black phantom behind my face. A dark word behind my lips. A night in my day. Suicide, why do you ensnare all my companions? They didn’t know. They didn’t see. They didn’t recognize who had overtaken me. You left a message on paper; they read in disbelief. Suicide, you are shy, and yet you have the audacity to kill me.

Unstable

 The clouds are unstable So too are the waves But my faith is stable, solid. Rally and debate is unstable. Fire and Water too. But, God hold us safe.
