~*Our Unfinished Symphony *~
© Mysteria January 2001


My heart remembers
his concerto.
It made me dance
and my spirit sang.
The lyrics of our souls
never parted lips,
yet passed eye to eye,
cheek to cheek,
and spirit to spirit.
His high-pitched whispers
permeated every crevasse
of my being,
quivering my flesh.
I held him
close to my neck,
nuzzling him to my chin
like a well strung violin,
while he played for me,
like a virtuoso
accompanying my lyrics
in a rhythm of love.
And in that split second,
our crescendo made
two half notes whole.
Why did the music end?
I now wear a shroud of sadness,
As I grieve our
unfinished symphony.

Mysteria, how beautiful and yet so sad! Isn't an unfinished symphony is better than no symphony? My symphony is just beginning.

Yowzwers...I love the sultry sensual current of this...and that picture is gorgeous...you always find such beautiful photos and are so well inspired by them...love the theme and metaphor of music in this Sharon...you carried it out to poetic perfection.
Good to see you posting again

Mysteria,
you turned beautiful poetry into a symphony of the senses.
Well done
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Both the picture and the music with the read of the words are truly wonderful.  Especially if it is read with the slow tune...very romantic.

You wrote this a year ago?  Where HAVE you been hiding this little treasure!?

The lyrics of our souls
never parted lips,
yet passed eye to eye,
cheek to cheek,
and spirit to spirit""

This poem was like watching an opera unfold,
So soft, and gentle with longing passion…..

Thoughts slide out
of hiding and cling
to anything I put
in front of them.
Words bead up
like dew and in
a moment,
will be accessible.

Sharon...you have outdone yourself with this treasure!  There is nothing quite as hauntingly beautiful as an unfinished symphony...you always wonder how it may have turned out.  This piece along with the music and picture is superb!

I agree with Nancy on this one…there is nothing as hauntingly beautiful as an unfinished symphony. But, I might add, there is also nothing as hauntingly painful too. And yes, we’re left wondering why the music ever had to end. Nice to see you here again Sharon.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
