The Truth Behind My Piano

Brunet black and bright white belong together
On one side order was out of place
But the side on the piano produces peace and pacifism
In one way white wielded the black
But the way in the piano they pull through perfectly
My fervent yellow fingers take flight across the keys
And in unison the keys make mellifluous melodies
Melodies worth more than just music
I am sparkling despite the shattering sorrow
When I sit on the sleek piano seat
And when I place my polar foot on the golden pedal
And when I take a bottomless breath before pressing the keys
Its invisible arms give me an intimate hug
Spieling and singing me songs of sweet love
Mindless of whom I may be

This was actually an assignment for my Creative Writing class. We had to write a poem with alliteration about an object we love and explain why; I immediately chose the piano.
