They touched in the center
From octaves far away,
A double flat made natural
To end romantic day.

Cuddled within the Treble Clef
Their borrowed times complete;
No more could he meter
Or feel the linger of her beat.

Electric charcoal she held in mind
While his eyes, she tried to visualize;
Upon manilla paper sketched
Imperfection in her tries.
  
The phrases of their memories
were hidden in two half rests,
Combined to make a whole
In the silence of their breaths.

Oh, you have no idea how that hit me. So many times I have done this, sketched eyes, imagining what some might look like!
It's as if you saw me, pen in hand.

The melody of love is a beautiful one that lingers on the mind... even when the song itself is all too brief. *S*

This is lovely... excellent work! *S*

Midnitesun,
   You flatter me.  I would imagine you to be quite the artist by how perceive things and write about them.  
                 dautz...


Gentle Spirit,
  How very kind of you to say.  Thank you.

              dautz...


Spine Grinder,
   Glad you enjoyed the description.  I thought it might be too much or too little.  (I wasn't sure if the metaphors would detract-glad to hear your POV)
Thanks.
               dautz...
Enchantress,
   And I enjoy yours, as well.  Thank you for your kindness.
               dautz ...

suthern,
   Exactly.  Yes, the melody lingers, even when the song brief...  You are definitely in tune.  Thanks for your thoughtful response.
               dautz...
