My Soundless Musician

He drifts amidst his memories
Caressing his guitar,
Whilst mourning for the melodies
His mind forever bars.

We've seen him dance on crumbling walls
As his fingers start to sing,
And whilst he plays upon the wind
To deafness, songs he brings.

And through the years he plays, he plays
His music unsurpassed.
His fans no more than passing days
Until he plays his last.

Author notes

This is more a biography of a dream... than anything else.
I apologise for the poem being in the present tense since it's supposed to be retelling a memory, but It just seemed more effective retelling it as it happens.

My musician's heart for music...
Would render deafness weak
Embracing tunes within the wind
His heart the songs would keep

Sometimes the memories of things are forced to become the reality so that we can keep on enjoying the things we loved most.

    I like the image here. Makes me wonder what his realy story is, it is like something is missing there. You did a good job with the rhyme as well. Much enjoyed this.
