Affaire d’honneur

Freeverse

Is this music made of magic?

Or does it vent its violence

fired by fury, fuelled by force?

Does music trip Milton’s light fantastic

with nimble heartedness -

or fight with furore, feast on frenzy?

It can be a disease, fanatical,

as these hands, these fingers,

these tips, these nails

perform, carry out their execution.

I wonder with fixed eyes as I take that punch,

or deliver one in this duel we did not choose.

Music give us a certain magic, a kind of exhilaration that lifts our minds, our spirits ...it gives us to to analyze, enjoy, reflect....sometimes it actually becomes a part of our being...is music fired by fury? well that is to be proven...perhaps with some composers it is true...the execution of love who cannot exist without music...it's in their bones...well done!
Warmly, B
