haunted in melody

i've got a new song in my head and my hands...it's one of those shimmery magic bubble ones...it's so pretty that i don't ever want to stop playing it, even though it causes me to hyperextend the top knuckles on my ring and pinky fingers, even though it doesn't seem to want to take concrete form yet, even though the words won't come yet...i think i stumbled across something good, here.

its main problem is that the way i envision the tune, the verses practically have to be haikus--the syllable space available is just that narrow. and i find it hard to tell the story that this song needs to tell with such a minimum of words (as you've no doubt noticed, i tend to be a bit verbose). i'd ask the person it's about to write the haikus for me, but i think i want this one to be a gift instead. so i'll have to make do.

too bad there's no way in hell it'll be finished by monday. what a gift that would be for us both.

ah, it's so nice to feel haunted by something of your own creation. sometimes.

p.s. i know that obsessing about my music can sometimes be a little tedious for y'all. thanks for bearing with.
