Melody

Like the keys of Beethoven
my being continues to leak
melodies when my heart
aches a tune of melancholy //
I am a lullaby when
life maneuvers my notes //
I am a song
that stays afloat //
Like an oath
remains strong
so unfortunate
when some
played me like radio
but with every ache
I grow like muscle //
I can be subtle as piano
or loud as metal guitarist //
Born to shake the
world like Parkinson's //
But I chose to settle
with the wind
where my tunes
resides with its howl //
As I spread like
wings of an owl //
