Your words so elegantly created
to purposefully confound
issue forth with all the grace
and tonal depth
of the most mesmerising nocturne.
Yet beneath the surface harmony
discordant notes throw me off balance
Leaving me clutching at the
ephemeral ligatures of understanding
you dangle before me.
Your intention that your masterpiece
be played in adagio
dissolves, perhaps inevitably, into an allegro rubato
that touches my soul so profoundly
I cannot help but weep.
Weep with the joy of holding you,
with the sorrow of loving you
with the knowledge that my contralto could, perhaps,
add depth to your lifes work and yet…
You cannot compose my inclusion.
When will you realise that
I willingly divulged the key
(G minor)
that would unlock the mysteries of my own cadenza
the moment your eyes met mine?
You have but to use it.
Maestro
On life, love, relationships and music. (smiles) Isnt it always?

G Minor is the key? “Touches my soul so profoundly” as well… Brilliant word painting…

Loco… youtube G minor, have a listen to what you find. G minor is a very underrated key ;) Thankyou.

BB I always pictured you as a major key… but then, now I think about it… G minor has a touch of the dark to it so perhaps its shouldnt surprise me ;)
As for lunch… I plan on feasting on your neck =))

Our lives are dominated by two essential and inescapable rhythms, is it any wonder poetry and music are so deeply embedded in our being. G minor is indeed very beautiful. Beautiful dissonance – beautifully written.
