synesthesia

/sɪnɪsˈθiːzɪə/

synesthesia is a neurologically based condition in which a person experiences "crossed" responses to stimuli. It occurs when stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway (e.g., hearing) leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway (e.g., vision).

The sound glided across the room of shadows and darkness, its voice tearing through the chains that had me clutched against its bars of rusting steel. Light; slow and piercing curled around my body, lifting my fingers after every note that left the keys beneath. Guiding me towards the gleam that was reflecting vividly off the windows I heard the melodies bellowing call.

Smooth white like cream whipped from butter and milk my fingers caressed each piano key, sliding against its unspoilt purity with a haste that was both savage and peaceful. Heavy eyelids pleaded to open, to watch the magic that poured from the crevices of sound and imagination in front of me yet I couldn't surrender, not yet...just a little longer.

Behind closed globes of virescence, I could see purple trees laced with pink spirals of veins that reached eagerly towards the heavens of pale lavender. Birds with wings that were near invisible yet bearing the scars of happiness hopped across the jewelled ground of ruby with chirps spilling joy. This place is where the music lives. It has breathed its exotic air of scents others were yet to discover and raced through trees others could only imagine. I wish I could stay, however, I have overstayed my welcome - I am only a spectator in this land, nothing more than a ghost hovering in the air....

"For Jesus' sake, I will come over there and smash that Piano to smithereens if you don't shut up!" The scream cut through the quiet echo within my mind, piercing the lands that had formed into vivid memories and lustful dreams. Orbs of green grass that adorned the scent of dew-spotted leaves left imprints across the keyboard as dark bold keys whispered of demons and monsters hidden from my eyes. Their sound is haunting, demanding of attention yet screaming orders that I would have succumbed to any other day.

Mrs Patterson, her voice was pitch black, like tar that had been freshly melted onto the cracked asphalt deemed useless by society waiting patiently outside the walls. My fingers had turned into the same uselessness, frozen to the keys as though to disobey my mind. The sounds of a child's laughter echoes from the greyed woman's home, sweet and gentle I could almost see the trail of yellow sunshine glimmering from across their yard.

However, Mrs Patterson didn't recognise her daughters' lulling voice, filled with the innocence of childhood and with a painful yell the mother hollered for her child to "hurry up" and "get ready for school". It was a painful reminder that I too, had been sucked back into reality and needed to prepare for the following day.

More laughter and the giggling of mischief echoed from their home as both Pattersons went about their morning with quick snappy remarks and the sound of a family. Eyes carried themselves from the instrument and towards my own home, coated with ripped furniture spilling white clouds and pieces of metal springs, as discarded dishes grow their own family of green and brown.

I could feel the burning behind my irises as my mouth began to dry just as quickly. My throat started to sting as thoughts gathered behind watering eyes and the feeling of guilt. It wasn't from the constant sight of colours that seemed to erupt from noises...everything just seemed...lonely.

so very lonely.
