Symphony of Love

                                                 Symphony of Love 

Is my voice a symphony 

Do I rage with song 

When our hearts are melding 

Two becoming one 

 
Are your notes of tenor 

Forced with breathless thrust 

Are the whisperings of woodwinds 

Leaping from my tongue 

 

Quicken heart! Hold time 

Surround the sound—silence 

Mewl for no one else to hear 

My lover’s lips shall thunder 

 

Rage, lift up my very soul 

In crescendo—rapture! 

Deep inside, harmonious tides 

Melodies—captured 

 
Songs for only our ears 

Sweet in every note 

Panting—exhausted refrain 

Music is your stroke 

 

Sing sweet lover to me 

Your song a kind surrender 

Symphonic pleas, submission 

Orchestra in motion
