Come into my chamber
I shall color the music low
chill the wine perfect to taste
and for our light
catch stray moonbeams
flirting in through a window
place a candle or two
scented with citronella
to intoxicate us.

The drumbeats in my heart
pound impatiently
my fingers like a violin rod
flex slowly for the opening chords
a hush falls over my senses.

Maestro, your orchestra is ready.
I am your instruments, you have the power
to possess me, hold me willing captive.
At the wave of your hand
we shall play our symphony.

The music becomes you my dear and your embellishments are indeed as you say, "intoxicating".

My general way of thinking is if you can write it, you can experience it. We use our better judgment of course to discern the more acceptable actions  This is the primary reason so many poets are lonely souls searching for an understanding ear.

Beautifully crafted with the warmest emotions j.

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Oh my, dear Josefina, you were passionately inspired here. I love it!

Mr. Martini's comment is also enlightening "if you can write it you can experience it", of course sometimes it's the other way around, but still ... have you read his poems?

Great job!

Love,
Margherita

All I can do is tap the living podium with my baton and guide you, the orchestra , toward your grande finale!
