Play me like a violin in the dark of night
listen to woodwinds whispering our song
a melody of promises, drifting out to bay
pluck me like a harp until the light of dawn
round and round upon my music box
the chorus within your eyes I am drawn
ivory keys in the sky play a galaxy
a baton of shooting stars lead the way
sighs are like thunder, cymbals in the night
our hearts beat softly a flower drum song
bathing in a symphony of stolen love
black tuxedos upon the stage of romance
join me upon the brass of my carousel
Join me for our finale, our last dance.

Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist once he grows up.

I caught a glimpse of a brush in a drummer's hand slow fanning across his cymbal...soft, sensual, and delightful.

Great use of metaphore and simile to create a lovely, vivid picture in the mind. A virtual symphony of imagery.

You have written a beautiful poem full imagery and romance.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.
