The Gypsy Violin


The compelling violin lures
With an irresistible yearn
Dance, dance for me
I can no longer adjourn !

Ethereal notes float from its strings
Caressing like a lover's hand
Sensual music, Angel’s touch
Leading the way to wonderland

Embracing with utter delight
Craving, beckoning me
Tempting my lonely heart
Dance, dance on my melody !

Faster, faster the music escapes
Without compassion to body or soul
Seducer of lonely hearts
Until dancing is my only goal

Faces gyrate while I dance on passion
Flashes of fire in the corner of my eyes
The violin plays like never before
Until I become one and loneliness dies

With a final cry and a final touch
The violin stops, the music ends
Leaving behind an emptiness
We’ll meet again, my violin friend

Hi Munda,

So beautiful, it is music to my ears your poetry. I have felt this way before with music, it can be a trip of wonderous delight until the music stops can't it. And yes it can replace the emptyness that pleges us at the moment, wonderful writting here my friend.

Love,  Cerenity

run when you run,
love when you love,

This poem is just like a floodgate of musical passion released to the open minds of the music lovers. Like a sponge they absorb.
