The Gypsy Violin
The Gypsy Violin
The compelling violin lures
With an irresistible yearn
Dance, dance, please dance for me
I can no longer adjourn!
Ethereal notes float from its strings
Caressing like a lover’s hand
Sensual music, Angel’s touch
Leading the way to wonderland
Embracing with utter delight
Craving, beckoning me
Tempting my lonely heart
Dance, dance on my melody!
Faster, faster the music escapes
Without compassion to body or soul
Seducer of lonely hearts
Until dancing is my only goal
Faces gyrate while I dance on passion
Flashes of fire in the corner of my eyes
The violin plays like never before
Until I become one and loneliness dies
With a final cry and a final touch
The violin stops, the music ends
Leaving behind an emptiness
We’ll meet again, my violin friend

My first question? What is the score behind him?? What song is that child pouring out of his little heart? I love the combo of what looks like wet hair and the rain, so very well tied together, like tears, of joy for the music?
Perfect baby, just perfect.

I’ve always loved sound of violin, that can make you cry, and make you happy; and to extract a soul from just three strings is pretty amazing. If I could start my life again, I wished I was a virtuoso violinist. This picture feels like bringing my dreams to life in this little girl, who looks so poor but also so fortunate and rich.
