Honorable Mention Symphony of Sorrow DarkCloud Operatic moans echo and bounce back from past memories As the violin bow softly weeps across its taut thin strings Dead spots on my soul glow bright with the decay of disease Sorrowful symphonies of solicitude fills my heart as grief sings Flutes bleed high-pitched shrills, oozing into the dark night air Dripping sad notes into my ears like perpetual falling tears I stand-alone on the stage of life conducting my own despair The razor sharp baton flaying in the dark as hope disappears Cellos and harps play together, moving down my naked spine As my lonely heart beats in rhythm with the drums of doom Piano hammers tap wires as giant organ pipes moan and whine As deep groans vibrate from the double bass's wooden womb Lingering interludes of silent voids fill the empty auditorium As my back faces the falling red velvet of the finale curtain call Encores refused as music vanishes like flesh in a crematorium My requiem played out in a grim grand opera's masquerade ball Embellished darkness emanates into the bleak future as ivory black The amphitheater falls silent, then is filled with a screaming bagpipe A wavering vibrato starts low and builds until ornate walls start to crack As my prelude is canalled along with the overture, my death is now ripe |
