Violinista

The magical emotions playing an instrument brings its mistress, how the violinists feelings are translated through the violin.

Sketching the bow across taunted strings,
Gliding adeptly her intense eyes sing,
Serenading its captor into melodious bliss,
Nimble her fingers romancing the kiss,
Tango the pizzicato reality inept,
Violinista masquerades a fraud in step,
Mistress of music in all she fails,
Vibrato her tears when her dry eyes prevail,
Muted with sadness her fiddle sustains,
The violin echoing her silence remain,
Loves long lingering and time erodes her,
Music healer of that crumpled core,
Replenishes the soul regenerating her encore,
Up bow of power surges through veins,
Sonneto, her therapeutic remedy to pain.

wow , love how you personified the violin her into a sad but melancholy beautiful thing :)

Thank you for your comments :-)

Ah now this is more like it. It feels like your conducting yourself.

[TrimarcoRansome]

Thank you! It's a whole new dimension when you play an instrument, that is what I wanted to put across.

music is like any art, to perceive its beauty encapsulates our souls...but to render it is a divine expression of inner light. this is beautiful and truly sings itself from the page....effortlessly. well done!

[TrimarcoRansome]

Thank you! :-) I play the violin and I wanted to write about the feeling I experience at the moment I lose myself in it!

Playing her instrument is as breathing - a musician must play, an artist must paint, a poet must write - no matter the weather. Really enjoyed this write.

[TrimarcoRansome]

Thank you! That is exactly what I wanted to say here!

Hrmm the three line rhyme isnt working for me Helen but another good poem bursting at the seams waiting to get out I reckon !

[TrimarcoRansome]

I don't usually do the rhyming thing so thought id try it, it reads ok when I read it but not sure it would read ok to others?!! if you get that!! I will have a play with it, I really wanted to write about this subject as it is so powerful and unless you play an instrument it would be difficult to portray to another!

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

I understand that I think its like that RAF poem of yours which you just tinkered with a little and turned into a masterpiece :)

[TrimarcoRansome]

I am a 'tinkering'!

[TrimarcoRansome]

What about now...still tinkering though!!

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Ohhh thats much better........just those last three lines now and your banging!

[TrimarcoRansome]

and now......

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Music to my ears :)

[TrimarcoRansome]

I'm still having a play with it, might change it further yet!!

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]
