10 Strings / Flamenco

10 strings
First string is for one moon-string of oxygen and Muse
Second is the tree that bred guitar,and made it capable of singing
Third has nine lives,and is a cat (she loves the moon-and all who sail to her)
Fourth string is a river,which you can tune to
Fifth is a mountain-earth frequencies,and air
Sixth string is your sixth sense-intuition(clear)
Seventh string is for your seven shakras
Eighth is for the ear-she who hears (knows)
Ninth string is as high as you can go
For the tenth is harp,and lute,harpsichord,piano
and all we have is a ten string guitar-and it speaks only in Spanish!

FLAMENCO
Hammer heel loud to this percussiveness
He strikes strings with hand and fist
Controls shape and form of she who responds
with passion,possessiveness,jealousy and romance
Twin twine double helix,we move voraciously
His hands stroke her body while she gypsy dances
Soon sparks will fly like a red dress.
Soon he will put down his guitar and take her steps
and she will flow with what the guitar already knows
What is held in your hands is time and music...
