The music of love played just for me….

Image via Wikipedia

 

A melody skillfully played

To the tune of passion yet unrealized

Chords flow from your fingertips

Each time you graze my cheek

Your voice is music to me

Your every word, lyrical

My flesh is your instrument

Your hands have mastered

Playing every key

I dance to your tune

Keeping perfect time

To the rhythm of your love

My heart leaps for joy

At the finishing flourish

That leaves me breathless

And anxious to hear you

Play once again

    A clever equating melody to romance.

    Melody and romance always go hand in hand for me… Music to my soul is the music to my heart and this one struck a very nice chord within me…

    If music be the food of love, play on. How wonderfully and gracefully written. An insight into your desire.

    Gorgeously full of musical metaphor. Flowing so well. I love you style and grace with words. Such a clever poet. Thank you. George.
