~ The Piano

 

Whimsical wind blew

Through this house tonight

After my nightly cup of tea

I slept all alone,

To get some inspiration

And be totally free

To feel some pure nothingness

Dreams of life to follow

As the crows, in my window,

In the dead of the night

Crowed defiance

Every night after night,

In the distance

This moment came

I heard his piano game

His notes were not like others

He played them like

The  wind could touch

The earth, without gravity

Invisible beauty,

But with that special touch

Only he could intoxicate

A woman of his caliber

When he played,  all became

Quiet, even the wind outside

Only his breath you heard

Gasping of passion, in between

The notes of his touch

It doesn’t matter where I am,

Always he shall follow me,

In day and night,

He shall play for me

Until I sleep

With these majors 

And minors of love

Perfectly balanced as his

Ghostly fingers danced

I know he’s with me forever

I smiled….

Never saw this one. This is such beautiful poetry and the music compliments it so well. I can imagine him talking to you through his piano in romantic notes played softly and delicately as interludes run through your head reminding you of his presence. Excellent work.

My dear friend, thank you for being here tonight, means much to me... and thank you for saying these fine words.... yes, he still plays for me.... :) xx be back for you

This is so haunting. Those notes wafting through the night air that follow and intoxicate. A truly stunning piece of poetry.

The wind could touch
The earth, without gravity
Invisible beauty,

Ooh thank you for picking those lines out.... this was a hard piece to write, it was written for someone deceased who has taught me a lot.... your review thrills me... x

"To feel some pure nothingness" yes, I do feel that out of that peceful place comes the creativity, the inspiration, in the form of a few distant words, or maybe the echo of a piano melody... Once again, a great read for sure. I smiled too.

Thank you dearly :) this was a very special write to a very special person, so your words mean much to me.

I am a pianist and this touched me, your words brought a mesmerizing melody to my mind and my heart began to sing in harmony. Your words are pure, simply pure and free, flowing like a sheer curtain in the breeze of an open window. Very nice.

Thank you :) they are free, I'm honored again by this write you felt each note smiling Jack :)

I've never read a poem that describes music so perfectly
I love this
Thumbs up
Can't wait to read more :)

Thank you so much Yasmin, glad you picked this one out as your first of mine... It was a piece that is very special to me. Love your review, and thoughts.

Well
Music is very related to poetry and I am fascinated by classic music so :)
you are the first to like my comment clearly I am that bad :S
and I can relate since I found it extremely special :)

I believe in the fact "Nobody on this writers site is bad first of all" :) each and every person, has some story, and we are here to learn and get inspired by eachother. I'm very musical, next to writing I do a lot with this... I must admit in the year I've worked intensely on my poetry, music became on the second row... but now I am picking it up again, next to painting and handwriting... I'm glad with you dear soul, thank you for your honesty, and that you could relate to it... this one was for a very special teacher.

[Yasmin]

:)
That is very sweet of you to say
I hope you catch up soon since it's clear that you have a good ear in music :)

Thank you dear friend, you're lovely! :))

This is yet another beautiful piece, a special dance of intoxicated love.

"Sie spielt für mich allein".

"His notes were not like others
He played them like
The wind could touch
The earth, without gravity
Invisible beauty,"...My fave lines! Great writing!

Thank you so much dear friend and poetess, in Italian we would say: " così leggero" Thank you for picking out those lines... Much warm greetings!
