Piano Music The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on. At the grand piano sits a young, fine man a younger girl, lovely, and his devoted fan watches, enraptured, as the ivories his fingers kiss his playing becomes to her, sweet, sheer bliss. The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on. Oh the piano player plays with such great delight the evening lasts forever, and long past midnight, the dawning rays come pink to the young girl's cheek the music's entrancement she will forever seek. The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on. The piano player, his fingers were nimble and strong he dipped and stroked the milk white keys as if they belonged to no other lover, neither now, nor then, and the middle aged woman quivers, remembering when... The music, the music, oh the music played on for dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music played on. In the memory of the old maiden's loving mind "if the music lives in your heart, you'll forever be mine," the piano player gone, the sweet sad words he wrote... she will always recall this, the piano player's notes. The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on. The old maiden sighs, her breathing becomes light once again a girl under the candlelabra's lights, golden haired, beautiful, with pink tinged cheeks listening for her piano player, his music she seeks. The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music long gone. ©KRJ 28 August, 1999 " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

Karilea, this one is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the music that plays on. Ben “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

"The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on." This is so so lovely! And as I read this repeated verse above it had the rhythm of a waltz. Oh so very beautiful and lyrical Karilea. Hugs~Nancy |

G'day Karilea. Amongst hardworking folk, the old woolshed dances were a time to throw down tools, dress up to the nines and kick your heels up. Many a romance blossomed at these shindigs and how everyone loved the piano player. For many elderly folk these times are the precious memories that live on in their hearts and minds and a link to the special people they shared their lives with. Wonderful sentiments mate and thoroughly enjoyed. The Grey |

Sissie Last night, my brother's lovely aged mother -in-love played the piano for a special St Patricks Day Party. Her fingers at almost 90, sounded so young in the blur of time that the music made. Your poem reminded me of the place where her heart tuned up. Thank you. |

"The music, the music, oh the music plays on dancers swirling, twirling, from dusk to dawn amidst twinkling, sparkling starlight strong and the music, oh, the music, the music plays on." If ever I need to define the core of me, these words will do. Beautifully said. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

It does read like a song, and what a great tribute that would be to have it made into one for all his loved ones? Nicely done. |

I skipped this poem, because it is long. Then later I came back....and skipped this poem, because it is long....and later came back yet again, skipped.... .....and so it went until today, when I am finding that your words are speaking to me as no others do. I won't say "as no others can" because tomorrow may be different....but today, no others DO. Today, it didn't seem long at all. In fact, I didn't quite want it to end when it did. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

A lovely vision, romantic and sweet, lingers after reading this poem. It has the feel of a fairy tale, only in form of a memory as time passes. What throngs the heart in beauty and sparkling harmony, tho, stays forever...stuff dreams are made of. Entralling. ~ Klassy  |
