What my eye beheld was beauty
what my heart heard were violins
what was etched into memory
was your body in silhouette
about to bow,and the music
hauntingly sang my soul,
wherein my mind translated each note
into six languages of sense.

Short, sweet and beautiful. A very nice way to capture the music and the moment in the words.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Julian.. this is excellent...
superb imagery and very very cool use of music analogies to define the emote.
so much spoken and expressed in so few succinct and precise poetic lines.
wonderful writing...most impressive.

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me

Have I walked into your body
with braided dreams that stumble
over moments of laughter
the music of stone.
~~~~Thank you all. Julian
