The Gypsy Violin The compelling violin lures With an irresistible yearn Dance, dance for me I can no longer adjourn ! Ethereal notes float from its strings Caressing like a lover's hand Sensual music, Angel’s touch Leading the way to wonderland Embracing with utter delight Craving, beckoning me Tempting my lonely heart Dance, dance on my melody ! Faster, faster the music escapes Without compassion to body or soul Seducer of lonely hearts Until dancing is my only goal Faces gyrate while I dance on passion Flashes of fire in the corner of my eyes The violin plays like never before Until I become one and loneliness dies With a final cry and a final touch The violin stops, the music ends Leaving behind an emptiness We’ll meet again, my violin friend [This message has been edited by Munda (edited 06-10-2000).] |

Hi Munda, So beautiful, it is music to my ears your poetry. I have felt this way before with music, it can be a trip of wonderous delight until the music stops can't it. And yes it can replace the emptyness that pleges us at the moment, wonderful writting here my friend. Love, Cerenity |

Faces gyrate while I dance on passion Flashes of fire in the corner of my eyes The violin plays like never before Until I become one and loneliness dies With a final cry and a final touch The violin stops, the music ends Leaving behind an emptiness We’ll meet again, my violin friend Music can weave such magic as can poetry, you captured it beautifully. wonderful poem. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Outside open mouthed crowds Pass each other as if they're drugged Down pale corridors of routine Where life falls unatoned " "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. |

This poem is just like a floodgate of musical passion released to the open minds of the music lovers. Like a sponge they absorb. |
