Poem: Music in the key of Midnight

Fugue

Music in the key of Midnight

You are alone at midnight
and the music plays,
loud and rhythmic,
never in a straight line,
like love, full
of crescendos and soft whispers,
of darkness and fireworks,
magnificent and tender
with a fiery heartbeat of passion
underlying it all, reminding you
that you are never
ever
alone,
that your heart soars
with every memory, each
a blazing fire
that dances long after the moon has fallen.

About this poem

I remember love. I bet you do too.

The painting is one of mine, called Fugue.

  1. I remember. Oh, how I remember. As scary as it is I would eagerly reach for its beautiful promise again.

    Beyond beautiful…absolutely perfect. You know it well.
