It's not lyrics…but <br />whispers <br />That lie ‘neath the melody <br /> <br />Ghostly murmurs that <br />haunt <br />the refrain <br /> <br />Sursurrant sounds <br />That surge <br />And then melt <br /> <br />Whispers not heard but <br />more chillingly <br />…'Felt'… <br /> <br />As tingles and ripples <br />Of black fingernail <br /> Making <br /> <br />Minor chords that caress, <br />And then go <br />Raking…. <br /> <br />Up spine and then <br />Spider <br />cross brain <br /> <br />A musical medly <br />Of whispers <br />And melody <br /> <br />Song fashioned by phantoms <br />From mist <br /> …Icicles and rain…<br /><br />David Whalen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-haunting-melody/
