Apollo
Dark, curly, hair, wet with beads of sweat
A proud smile spreading across his lips
Eyes scan the sea of jumping bodies
"Apollo!" the crowd screams, "Apollo!"
Muses harmonize in the background
He strikes the electric with a loud chord
Bringing the people up from their seats
"Apollo!" the crowd roars, "Apollo!"
Calloused fingers poised above the strings
Apollo plays a riff at lightning speed
Excitement spreads like waves through the crowd
"Apollo!" they start to shout "Rock on!"
Then comes the end, then comes a still pause
The strings quiver and softly hum a tune
A delicate voice succeeds the strings
"Apollo," they whisper, "Apollo."
A heartwretching, personal ballad
Tears prick the eyes, emotions spark and flow
Each note prompts a longing for more love
"Apollo," they plead, "Sing on my dear!"
Confetti bursts forth, the lights fade out
The people trickle out, their hearts beat on
Silence and gentleness fill the dark
"Apollo," they repeat, "Apollo."
