I read music in your eyes,
Delicate chorale filled your voice,
The melody of your soul,
Breathed hymn into my life;
Each movement measured note by note,
Dancing fingers played across my keys,
‘Twas not a symphony filled the silence,
But a quartet caressing strings;
Hosannas rose into the night,
Angelic host proclaimed,
Cantata filled my ears,
Notes kissed me in refrain;
No interval could unpair us,
Nor dissonance render harsh,
The canon of desire played,
Crescendo in each march;
And when the ruby of your lips
Pressed love’s red blush to mine,
Tympani’s thrumming pulsing beat,
Marked two hearts beating side by side in time.

Very nice choice of metaphor.

A symphony of words sharing love. What an incredibly fortunate couple this is. Magical. “breathed hymn into my life” So often hymns are full of lyrics and tones expressing a spiritual love and you added into a romantic love. Bravo, Will. Bravo!

I loved it. The extended music metaphor replicated by the symphony of sounds your word choice creates as well as the melodic rhythm. Perhaps the poem could end at side? It keeps the rhythm balanced and fluid. Or maybe you disagree? Great poem nonetheless

I’ve never thought about this point of view: soothing the soul. But it definitely enable me to keep my memories and feelings, do not let them go with the time. That’s why I like it

Ahah just joking. 🙂 My songs are now just acoustic guitar and voice. When I’ll be mastering, I hope to find a definite genre

Haha Good! Although, I find writing lyrics difficult almost to the point of depression…. “She’s that Girl” is my latest attempt at writing a song. I have a friend putting it to music.

Such an adventurous life. My compliments! Of course, writing gets better with so many experiences. In writing, I like the style of Hemingway and Bukowski, coarse and concise, bare

I love Hemingway and try to be concise. Unfortunately, I can be wordy and prone to purple prose. I keep trying though!
