Unsung

I prefer the song that are unsung

These I love far better than the other ones

Unsung songs are secret things

Hummed above tarnished diamond rings

Melodies that resonate

More in the bones than our mind state

They are not the lyrics of the time

Or of any time that comes to mind

But rather of the hidden hours

In between the sun and showers

Empty pictures frames and vases

Fancy words and dull catch-phrases

I prefer the songs that lie above our hearts

And farther off beyond the stars

Where no one knows the language of

A simple sentiment of love

And yet these are the songs we hold

While working hard to strive for gold

Further, they do not require words

And more easily express joy or hurt

These are the songs I love to sing

Because they encompass everything
