Ascending mountainous yet glorious stairs
Searching below for a reverent presence
Spotting him - a tenor god from beyond
And oh, how my ears rejoice
All hearts trembling magnificently
As tempo and range gallantly fluctuate
Now beautifully enters - lady soprano
When heart can take no more
Angelic voice playfully dances away with our souls
Orchestral magic fueling this wondrous fire
On and on - how I long to embrace them
Stretching out my common hand
I dream a little
Then retract - knowing I can never reach them

I have only my genius to declare!

You read my mind, I too feel the same way about classical music, whenever I listen to classical music my emotions start to gush out of my mind, that's usually the time when I most likely will write poetry.
