Soul Singing

Start with an easy strum
mysterious in e-minor,
add the play upon senses
notes of a blue liner.

Mix in a sultry voice
she’s passion personified
dynamically in tune,
a singing soul inside.

Now, the arrival of beat
stirs the primal beast
dormant with desires,
it begs to be released.

If the music stimulates,
summons a dream sweet -
breathe deep nostalgia
before it quickly retreats.

By then the hook is in
the song is now ours
to conjure spirits again,
music’s magical powers.

Music truly is magical, isn't it? I loved your poem, Corinne.

Thank you, Balladeer, shall we sing in chorus? A ballad of a duet, for those lovers that went before us?

Thank you very much, Daniel!
