Lovers Song

Translation of thought to music

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keys stay quietly

Waiting for my touch

An element needed to create

Music

What is an instrument without its lover?

 

I translate sound

From my mind

To my ears

As fingers touch, and play

Dancing upon the keys

 

Perfect precision, balance

And rhythm, not always found

The first time

Sometimes the song takes years to play

 

Sometimes, songs stay

In my mind, unplayed for now

A whisper of music

Untouched

 

Am I the piano

Or the player?

 

Perhaps I am both

 

Waiting…

To be played also

Waiting for

My Lovers song

To dance upon me

great metaphors..an instrument indeed can't play itself ..loved this

[Kaiodem]

Ah, the lovely world of musicians. Are we the instrument we play? That's how I feel when I'm reading this and playing the piano. The terms fit perfectly together about love and music.

[Marianne]

Oh, how I relate....though I do not PLAY an instrument, I am forever in tune with
the musicians who soothe me with their melodies, like a lover with his kisses !

And in your 'gorgeous' poem you have sent me heavenly notes, playing in my heart unforgettable moments...right here at the Café

When two people open doors and allow the desire to make the other one content. Great music can be played. Age teaches us better to give pleasure. A happy pardner will return the favor. The poem is a amazing. These poems should be in a book. They are outstanding.

aww way cute :)

[Goodbye]

Mmmmm, I used to feel that way about my clarinet. Haven't picked it up in years, but this piece is making me think about it. Nothing like the love between an instrument and the player. Great write as one could even take it as the music between human lovers. Lovely!

Your ideas of the way music plays melody sound so much like the rhythms i hear when i think poetry.They are so similar as to brothers

[Geralyn Miller]

The Music sings through this peice; I am envious.

[Patient Poet (Yos)]
