Inspiration piece

My Lonely Bones
By Neil Ellman
Response

Smother me
under your weight.
Drink me in.
My lonely bones
cannot escape.
My eyes
cannot forget
your face.
Why have yours
forgotten mine?
Why do you endure
when I cannot?

Trapped in Another’s Song
By Neil Ellman
Response

Enslaved by your song
a spirit trapped
in ivory keys
I barely understand
the meaning of the sounds
your tongue
compels me to obey
your raw commands
whatever they may be
wherever they may lead
I follow you without a will
or voice my own.
