Every Man, Warbling (a Sonnet)

Every Man, Warbling (a Sonnet)

These meek ballads of every man forlorn’d
are sung from the pleas made out from temporal
marriages of keys, notes, medley’s intoned
in vivid nows; a slight architectural

form whose function is to plead and relieve
the restlessness of unfinished music.
An elusive sound interweaves bittersweet
serenades with flatly choral strains musing.

Sonatas tempt his soul’s ( pieces ) resolve;
a chorus urging to conform to (mis)deeds
of songs composed, misplaced, replaced, withdrawn
from realms of abstract things – sadistic needs. –

As man, forlorn’d, warbles in forced ballad,
these dissonant tunes make him less… ( …valid. )
