Blame it on my new muse, my Fairy Laume, but melodic sounds are heard, as thoughts of my mother come to me, and I would share this again with you... Touch the Keys black and white sit alone and separate until you touch the keys like dipping fingers into milk and slowly, tenderly, making breeze touch with me feel the ease slowly glide your gifted hand across the keys of life pick me up and lift me in and ease me of all strife touch with me fingers that carry the stained and strained, carry refrain, accomplish the gain zephyr along the gift of day long into the night Rachmaninoff me away touch me and hear the music touch me and feel the notes touch me see what you've wrought deep within your rote touch me like the keys of bone touch me unlock the stone touch me to be yours alone touch me candlelight shall grace the gift of the music of your lift touch me and in the silk and satin day touch me as you shall play Tschaikowsky me in E flat waltz and play me never false touch me fingertips dipped in midnight cream under bright of moon light's beam and in this touch of E in the key of me a rhapsody sublime in the song of Karilea 01.01.01 revised 01.09.02 |

My goodness - this itself is a masterpiece! I love the style, creative phrasing and sentiment that flows in this. It's refreshing to read your poetry again. This is beautiful, and perhaps one of your best Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

It seems to me that Karilea Would be a full-blown symphony To fill the night with melodies For he who touches all her keys. Play on, dear lady, fill the night With sounds of orchestral delight And live your days in harmony With he who touches Karilea.. So I got inspired! So...??? |

Sunshine, This is simply wonderful. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Sunshine - Music, especially piano, certainly does move you. Really liked subtle innuendos drawn between the playing of the piano and feeling of passion for another. Nicely done. Dave |

This musical themed piece is itself music to the ear. This poem speak and you've done a good job of formatting and line arranging to make the music play brighter. never try to teach a pig to sing |

Kari darling sister of my soul YOU know I always loved this one of yours don't you. It is utterly utterly fabulous. I was going to say who let you out of the library, but I forgive you this beauty needs to be shared frequently. Truly one of your utter utter best darling girl. When your muse catches you look how wonderfully you fly As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |
