Lullaby in the Key of Dreams

Chris G. · Lullaby In The Key Of Dreams

~

Shadows of affection

sway together beneath

an ivory moon,

floating in the ecstasy

of this symphonic evening

composed of stardust melodies

 

Euphoric sonatas

waft in slumbering tempos,

fueling fantasies

while acoustic sighs glisten

‘pon candlelit promises sent

on down pillow whispers

 

Twilight concertos

shimmer along a horizon’s

wishes as wind swept

desires dance between

blushing tree lines

and satin sheet quivers   

 

As piano music softly plays,

echoing harmonic measures

neath a weary ebon sky

where two silhouettes in love

slowly fade off to a

lullaby in the key of dreams

Fave verse here

Euphoric sonatas
waft in slumbering tempos,
fueling fantasies
while acoustic sighs glisten
‘pon candlelit promises sent
on down pillow whispers

Thank you Julie for always being so kind to me.

[Dave Brown]

very very impressive
successfully combining these two art forms must give you a satisfying sense of accomplishment and would seem to emphasize that you are a high energy person with a will to succeed
Congrats

Thanks Dave. Hey, I just do what I do and try to have fun doing it. : )

[Dilan Gray]

Ok the music gave me goosebumps. It was so beautiful and the words along with it. Thank you for recommending this one to me!

[willweb]

Thank you for reading and listening today. I am excited you enjoyed this.

[Dilan Gray]

I really did! And you’re welcome!

Both your music and words offer such a gentle, peaceful and very welcome view of emotions, willweb. Does your music come first, I wonder, is there a trigger for whichever comes first Curiosity. Could happily listen over and over whilst reading phrases such as, ' acoustic sighs glisten - ‘pon candlelit promises sent - on down pillow whispers.. ' The repetitive 'ripples' truly are joyful as they move onwards into deeper waters.

[willweb]

Thank you so very much my friend. In most cases the poetry comes first, it becomes the inspiration for the music. Sometimes I will read or write something and hear a song in my head. It truly is euphoric when that happens and it all comes together. I am so thrilled you found this one and enjoyed it so much.

[emmajoy]

Words placate the mind and music feeds it. Of, the reverse.. the choice is pesonal! :)

Such a lovely composition. One element relates so strongly to the other and all picks itself out in the reader/listeners experience.

[willweb]

Thanks so very much Ken. I am happy you liked this.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

This is a lovely composition, both the word and the music. The beginning notes indeed sound like stardust sprinkles, twinkles in a lover's eye. The conclusion is just as beautiful ... slowly fading off to a lullaby in the key of dreams. There can be no sweeter dream than this. We are lucky to have you here. Thank you.

[willweb]

Wow, thank you my friend. I am very thrilled you enjoyed what you found here and humbled by your ending comment. I appreciate you Linda Marie. Thank you again for your visits.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

My absolute pleasure. Thank you for the gift of you.

Agile fingers needed for that clarity! Smooth yet rippling, lovely, Could hear the stars twinkling - yet throughout, calm as calm - pianissimo. Finishing with the echoes of those magical words.
What a beautiful world ours would be with this kind of music instead of the chaos in elevators and stores! That from a woman who enjoys electric guitars! Many thanks for sharing this with your friends, willweb. Your playing is first class, your words delightful.

[willweb]

Composed and played by a man who owns 3 electric guitars. : ) Thanks so much Emma.

[emmajoygreen]

I knew it!!! Will ask about those another time.

[Relic]

Your piano paying is superb. You're words are also superb and combining them both can only render a 100 from me. You're a creative guy.

[willweb]

Thank you so very much my friend. I am thrilled you liked this and appreciate your visit. Thank you again.
