Love Poem: Music of Love

Music of Love

Music of Love

On cloudless, starry, starry nights,
you sit on your moonlit patio,
under the cool canopy of Royal Poinciana trees
showing-off their flamboyant scarlet petals.
Cradling your beloved cello between your legs, 
you plunge into a vortex of musical love. 

Skillfully drawing your bow, you fine-tune her;
testing for perfect fifths, you arouse her. 
She thrills you with every expert caress 
flowing from your fine, familiar fingertips, 
so intimate, sensitive, and silky soft.

Tenderly titillating her, you bewilder 
even the stars with your playing, 
as the most melodic, harmonious music
breathlessly, seductively emanates from her soul…
more melodiously profound than the sweet,
nocturnal song of an amorous nightingale.

Together you two eviscerate the ills of the day
as you embrace her close to your heart,
plucking and stroking her sonorous strings. 
An ardent lover, you tantalize her, 
releasing a dulcet, celestial sonata 
that causes even the passing breeze
to shimmer and quiver in jealous ecstasy.

Charmed, captivated, and curious,
as if sipping wine from the Holy Grail,
you thirst and hunger to delve and discover
the essence of her innermost secrets. 
Lovingly romancing her with every touch,
she senses your love is not fallacious;
for like warm molasses, her music melts…
seeping into your brain, your heart, your very being.

And your soul passionately pulsates with the pure,
rhythmic melody of your cello’s divine voice.
