blue smoke billowing out from red rooftops angling toward an orange skyline
a room with grey windowsills sat powdered with a glaze of dark grey dust, the clouds of a thunderstorm
caking over the years
a kitten once playing about had decorated the dusty surface of the windowsill with tiny imprints
abandoned spiderwebs nestled in the corners swayed gently, their keepers having moved on
an old pitch black piano stood in the center of a room like a strangely designed monument,
a darkened wooden guitar rested against the wall, its strings curly and pointing all-about

amazing how a room full with so much music,
kept so quite now

the lovers had laid in that room in each others arms and grasp

as the pianists fingers caress the piano's keys and the guitarist gently tucks his guitar and strums beautifully

and so notes floated all-about, some escaping through the cracks in the windowsill, others collecting on the ceiling

they had laid together in that room

along with those instruments

they promised to never let go, of those instruments, or each other

but they could never have imagined the toll that time would take on them,

and it did, and it is so

that two lovers imprints on the dusty floor lay strewn across the floor about this room

that keeps quite, for now
