Big Band Kind Of Love

Gold guitar glistens 
as the Sun becomes starlight;
Wordless melody 
filled with a thousand glances,
overwhelmed I shade my eyes;

I hold a red rose 
beneath my quivering chin;
You make me so shy;
Still, your spirit makes me hum
into a silence movement;

The refrain explodes 
into a relaxed rhythm;
Sun-streaked serenades
fuel with such a slow motion 
regal big band kind of love.
