If music be the voice of love Then let me be your violin. Hold me gently in your hands And I will bring forth such glorious notes That you will be bathed in the glowing rhapsody 0f my love for you. My music will rise up loudly enough To reach heaven itself - Yet softly enough To fall gently upon your ear. Handle my love as you would a delicate instrument For the way I am touched is the way I must respond. Harshness or anger directed at my strings Can result only in notes of discord and misery Whereas the gentle touch of tenderness Will create melody divine. Don't place me in a corner, Untouched and unwanted For, if another picks me up, due to your neglect, I will respond ..... For that is the nature of what I am. But, if the fingers touching me are not yours, Then the song played Would be but a hollow echo of the joy I am capable of producing. For I was designed for your hands alone And only your touch can turn the key, Releasing all the wonderful melodies That lie untouched inside of me. If music be the voice of love Then hold me gently to your chin, Caress me through eternity And let me be vour violin. |

This is probably the most romantic piece of writing I have ever seen and it does have such a musical quality to it! But I'm sure you have many jems from the past that should be reposted! I'll be looking for them! ------------------ Denise |

Thank you, Pepper and suthern. Denise, I thank you also. I actually have several I would like to repost but I'm torn between the fact that all of the "old guard" has seen them and yet, there are so many new ones..it's a quandry. |

I'm so very surprised no one has said they would be your "bow" yet... I'd not seen this one, 'Deer. Thanks for the repost! |

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments. Sunshine, no one wants to be my "bow" because they don't want ANYTHING with strings attached. |

'Deer.....*sigh* this was gorgeous! I am sorry to say I missed this the first time around. I was deeply touched by this, I am a music lover myself so I can relate well to this. I'd like to see some more of your gems from the past sweets. Izzzzzzzzzzy ------------------ Every man has in himself a continent of undiscovered character.
