Your engine leaves paisley circles on my driveway
the wine is chilled and the windowpane
soon four squares against snowy creatures

who come down to listen,
as you play the cello in our last hour.
The song is full and risers
spread out like melody,

a name above wisdom, which I cannot
claim to possess.
Once I swept around your feet,
gathered breaths and left candles

cold over wooden tiles.
Now, hear our repertoire
which finishes nothing.
I’ll listen and send
you on your way in peace.
The scroll a warmer extension
of my hand

which once reached out for you;
I'll keep those parts
of you which were extended to me and remember
that we knew much sweetness in the prelude,
more style during our composition, yet still,
unable to love away from earthly angels
who once peered in at us.

Mmmmm, this is as sweet as music and the imagery is most beautiful. Can't sleep, thought I'd peruse the pages of blue - glad I did

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Really like the way you have used music
so well as part of the passion within the
poem. Excellent.

I have not posted on this site for years! But I stumbled across this poem and I found the title intriguing. And low and behold I have found something that creates a feeling inside of me. I am one of many that agree how wonderful this poem is! My favorite part was:
"Once I swept around your feet,
gathered breaths and left candles

cold over wooden tiles. "

simply wonderful
