We speak,
We connect.
Yet often we cannot express what we
Feel.
Those words,
Those feelings,
Those thoughts ,
Those emotions.

But with you,
I feel so free.
I can dance,
I can swing,
We connect on an other level.
Just by touching you,
I forget all my miseries.
Pills,
Magicians make you forget.
They hypnotise you.
For me,
You're my magician,
You're my best friend,
You're my first love.
You cannot speak,
Yet with your beats, your sound
We connect.
You make me forget all the claustrophobic thoughts in my mind,
When I'm with you.
Playing you.
And that's what matters.

You cannot speak human languages,
You speak music,
You listen.
You're there for me,
When there's no one.
Just by holding you in my arms I fall
Asleep.

The touch of your heart,
Touches my soul like no-one else.

We speak,
Not through language
But through touches. 

You cheer me up on my darkest days.
Days where it feels like there's no hope for me.
Days where pills & books go to waste.
Days when my mind is hazy and tears
Won't stop,
You lift me up, hold me close, your
Music serving as a gentle reminder -
Everything shall be alright.

You're my universe;
A part of me.
A part I shall never let go.
You're the sun in my universe,
And I your earth .

Dedicated to my violin.
My violin Jem brings me joy like no-one else. This poem is a reflection of what it makes me feel.
