A poem for The Phantom

Hush Angel, for just this hour

and sink into my outstreched petals.

Red, of course, My Farthest Star

The color of each breath we take

Rest, My Love. Let this night pass,

may my soft tears fade your scars.

Thorns of mortals mar your wings, 

but our music waits in cool night breezes.

Sing, Brave One, and let me burn

with the searing ring of every note. 

Your rumbling voice within my ear

sends ice along my lower spine. 

Kiss, oh Shadow, kiss the strings

of your songbird's midnight reverie

whose heaven lives in your arms alone

as we fly towards the coming dawn.

Fantastic write Elisa! "

Sing, Brave One, and let me burn
with the searing ring of every note.
Your rumbling voice within my ear
sends ice along my lower spine.

Kiss, oh Shadow, kiss the strings
of your songbird's midnight reverie."

Owe, this captured my soul!

Well this made me want to see Phantom of the Opera and read it too. I am ashamed, I still have not done that as of yet! But this beautiful, alluring, enchanting poem has seduced me with its dulcet softness. I think it could entrance and appease any beast, including the Phantom (although he is not quite a beast...).

Thank you :D if I could suggest two things as a die-hard "Phantom" fan:
1). Watch the musical live first, and then watch the 25th Anniversary Concert. I say see the musical live first because the actual sets and props are better than the 25th, but if the live show isn't in your area or it's too expensive, the 25th is an excellent alternative.
2). Read "Phantom", a novel by Susan Kay. It goes even deeper into the Phantom's backstory, even more than the original Gaston Leroux novel.
I hope you enjoy them! :D Thanks again for reviewing!
