Man of Music

your music washes over me
like waves upon the shore
you don't believe our love could be
or last forever more

your fingers dance upon the keys
you make violins ring
such soothing music, like the seas
and oh, to hear you sing

your voice is full, and rich, and round
you make the angels weep
your voice, like water's clear, smooth sound
mellifluous and deep

I fell first for your music's grace
and then your loving hand
despite what you think of your face
you are much more than man

Man and Music

I want to dance in the wild
beauty of the night rain
I want to travel to a far off place
on a midnight train

I want to live in a place
where the dark is loved, not feared
and the music of the night
is written and revered

I want to go where corruption
comes with the light of day
and listen to my musica and
whisper "my Maestro, play"

Land of seductive music
and a voice, with matchless tones
I hope that I will find you
Man and music, take me home

Full Circle

man of music
music of darkness
darkness of soul
soul of beauty
beauty of life
life of love
love of man

Shattered

listening to the sound
of your voice, recorded
I felt your pain
can hear the hurt in your voice
you were tense
betrayed
if only I could have been there
to wrap my arms around you
when you wanted to cry
she took your fragile heart
and handled it carelessly
she was innocent
like a child
she was clumsy
like a child
had no idea of the power she held
in her thoughtless
hands
your heart
like so many pieces of glass
shattered
like the chandelier
in pieces
irreplaceable
but can it be mended?
I write this to you
not knowing where you are
if I will ever see you
meet you
know you
is it possible
you are still alive?
is it possible
we could share
a single love?

Untitled #7

your voice flows over me
like a river in its bed
in that same way
you belong with me
I know you
what you've done
what you look like
and I love you all the more for it
because I know the man
you are now
one who has great grace
and dignity
and beauty
and love
who has changed
because
he could
you are now the man
you were meant to be
the mannerisms of an angel
of a gentleman
who you were
no longer matters
what matters is
who you have become
a wonderful man
the man I love
