Melody of my heart, song of my life
You came into my life without warning
Dispelling my darkness with your light

You filled my heart with the beauty of your song
Bringing my discordant life into harmony again
Sharing with me notes I had not heard in so long

From the discarded sketches of my life you found a symphony
A work of art and of life long forgotten
Found the scattered pages on the floor and gave them back to me

My life is so much better now that you have come
I no longer fear the darkness as I once did
For now I have you here, filling my life with sun

Melody of my heart, song of my life
Teach me again the song long forgotten
Fill my days with your music, and with artistry fill my nights.

Sven...
       This is beautiful, and melodic!!!
  As a musician, it 'struck a chord' in my
  heart...(no pun intended, really). I love
  the words here, and just the whole poem!
