As I play my old piano,
i'm thinkin on a rhyme;
of way back when I first saw love
was looking through my eyes.

If there ever was a lover,
so completely made for me,
her love would be my melody
and keep my life at middle C.

I would tell her of my heart;
how it aches to feel her touch,
and the songs we write in whisperings
to God, and man, and love.

I trail my fingers;
she responds,
in ways that coax my smile.
And finds me in the loving,
dreaming all the while.

Like the gentle rest, a butterly
delighting softly on her shoulder,
I'd walk the left up to her heart,
to the place where she's left smoldering

she would sing to me of pleasure
of gifts, and dreams, and plans
in a voice that always tells me
she will always hold my hand

And as I play my old piano,
I feel beneath my palms
just who this love might be
in every note of every song.

Yes, she's my old piano,
giving wings of song from pain
a thoughtful, gentle smile
every time she says my name.

If I could find a lover,
who could touch me in this way,
I'd marry her within the hour,
but my piano's here to stay.

I did and so did my piano. I played for her at our wedding last year.

This is beautiful. To be able to elicit those deep and wonderful tunes from the piano is a priceless gift, as is a love such as you dreamt of and found.

My poor piano is too silent these days ... it waits for fingers to awaken it to new life.

Great sentiments inside the lines of this poem, zaac, and after reading the other comments I see that you have found the one you were searching for. Wonderful.
