Your Seven Deadly Notes

Dear Reader,

My next poem is “Your Seven Deadly Notes”

In this poem the poet shares his romantic experience he had with his one and only love; Music. He describes his love for music as if a man describes his love for a beautiful woman.

The poet says that the seven notes of music are so deadly that they can just kill him. He has so deeply plunged into music that he says that the seven notes will kill him but they will also take him to heaven to the everlasting life of paradise.

Each musical note will kill the poet one at a time, but the poet is ready to be born each time to be killed. He says the deaths he is dying are beautiful and worth dying for.

The poet wants to die holding music close to his heart at the time of death. Just like how a dying man wants to hold his woman’s hands and have the last kiss.

After the seven deaths the poet wants to rest in the paradise of music for ever as the musical notes still continue to tickle his eardrums, giving him goose-bumps and killing him softly over and over again

So dear reader, hope you like it.

Your Seven Deadly Notes

Seven times you killed me

With your seven deadly notes.

Ah! What beautiful deaths were they

As if fate had planned and wrote.

We were happy and we were sad

Like, you had planned it all the way.

Stole my life in a matter of seconds

And you fled blissfully faraway.

Seven times i took birth

Seven notes to live with

But you had to choose

Seven notes to die with

Nothing could change, nothing could alter

The path we once chose.

We had to live, or rather die

Holding hands, lips too close.

It so swiftly happened

In just one mighty blow.

In seconds life transformed to death

And everything moved so slow.

Now, as your notes play

Tickling my tender ear-drums.

In this paradisiacal home above

They give me a thousand Goosebumps.
