The music of a moment
plays hauntingly tonight
like a feather tickling memory
beyond my need to scratch.

Ask me, “Are there violins?”
and I’ll simply sit and stare
for in love’s harmonic mix
individual instruments  
blend in unison.

Ask me, “Why not speak?”  
and I’ll tell you of dilemmas.
You should be fishing, see,
not begging from my catch
but what I give for free
comes back tenfold to me.

So here’s a note or two,
listen, can you hear?
Now go, find your symphony  
and the music of a moment
even though the magic
entwines not you and me.

Ask me, “Is it jazz,
heavy metal, moody blues?”
and I’ll answer, “Yes”
because it doesn’t matter
when love plays hauntingly
every time I think of you!

I absolutely loved this. Bravo!

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!
