A melancholy harpsichord
flats and sharps of memory
a shadow of a dancing child
freedom in obscurity
patterns hammer
notes entwine
a pause here
for a sip of wine
as just the thought
of you as mine
enslaves me
for eternity.

I'm trapped within
the passion's build
my foot sustains--
crescendo! (still...)
two chords of notes
ten fingers filled
with black and white apparency.

Oh yes, the stark reality!
A fool on stool
sparking the keys...
(oh no...) It's true absurdity.
To think of you
as my release.

My hands make groove in ivory.
I play, to keep your memory.

song to be sung...

Karen, you have always been an inspiration to me.
Your boldness, the way you write your poetry unflawed
with emotion. I never told you that did I?

Well, I just did! Thank you!

If you play the piano half as well as you "play" poetry....
then I am for sure gonna be your groupie *wink*
Could you have worked that metaphor any cooler???

Even thru the darkest phase, be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave, here beneath my skin
Constant Craving ... has always been.

serenity - I hear the song being played, and your words flowing with grace. A haunting guitar in the background, my fingers it would play...
