~ 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

[Mary]

the flow of your poetry is amazing! It IS the melody of the piano! Outstanding work

Thank you very much kind soul, around, I try, so glad you enjoyed the translating soul of a Dutch after midnight x

[Robin]

listening ...

I know dear friend, you're one of the few who "can" and always "do" same level :)

[Robin]

it's an Art ;)

It really is ;) yes.

OMG! And I loathe that term. You have got to read my piece "Blood in the Key of a Jealous C" sometime. It is a bit on the horrific side but the original idea for it was very similar to what you have here. This is beautiful. This is haunting. This is surreal. A wonderful wordsmith you are. Kudos.

Hello dear poet, no actually I didn't .... now you make me curious :) You're kudos, for telling this... thank you, I shall read your piece now.... really wow, did it match? Eli xo

The movement of the sea
The movement of the wind
Its breeze of dancing candle light and flame
It sound of melody can be found in ivory
Ivory keys of earthbound spirits
Close your eyes and let their fingers
Carry you through the the songs played...

Another beautiful canvas of written word... Thank You for sharing.

Thank you for your wonderful words as always Art.

[Hatchling]

[Waelboy]

Great flow of images! You made wish I was the piano player and there is a neighbor desiring me secretly!

Haha lol, well it was more spiritual ;) for those who are gone... but thank you very nice review!

[Sugar Plum ♥]

It provokes feelings and open my senses to hear the magicl piano melody! I loved the way your poem flows, seems like the wind and the fingers touching the piano gently in the silenced room. This melody makes you calm and little sad...

This one I wrote for the ones, who are not longer with me... in what kind of way.... But I always shall here their notes. Thank you

[Nautili]

lovely. The words fit the music so well. Enchanting piece!

Thank you so much xo

This is stunningly beautiful. His music is always with you and I love the story of how he played each note with passion and skill that is not matched.

Oh thank you lovely poetess... especially from your insight. Made me laugh, and a tear same time...

It is a great piece that makes me think of a euphoric romance that was cut too short but his music still plays on every night. A concert for one person alone.

As I danced on piano in my younger years.... yes, your review has a truth....
