The Cello

Swiftly my fingers cross above you
they make their way from your neck
which melody shall I imbue?
a heartless sound in air is just a speck
your body sings to the bow I master
the very artifact to create beauty
my name is art, I shall play faster
pleasing the ears is our duty.

A long night passed
our souls sweaty they rest
we save the best for last
now, let's leave them impressed!

Being a cellist, I could just feel the energy that you described like I was actually playing my beloved cello. It's such an incredible thing to play such a beautiful type of art, and you have written it down perfectly. It was romantic and I got some very amazing imagery. This piece was magnificent, and I bloody loved it.
Great work.

I love the poem.beautiful.I think you should change the title.I d not think you shouldgive it away.make me discover what instrument you are writing of.Even if I play a violin in my fantasy.This way you touch a larger group of musicians.The country boy with his bow and fiddle

This is quite romantic as well even though it's about a Cello.
Keep up the great job and thanks for sharing!

Very cool. I recently found out just how much I love the sound of the cello, and I like the way you described playing it. A cello's sound is really impressive and magnificent! I really liked this :]
