Con Amore
“Con Amore”, she called to him
Allowing her intent
Though her heart beat brio, brio
He seemed quiet, seemed content
His glance toward her showed interest
Adagio, at first
Perhaps a furia waits beneath
The grey steel stare for her
Unique the subtle movements
Drone, a bass beat lingered
Lifting slow, falling fast
Acceso - burning
Bend to love, sweet melody
Pick up your voice in chord
Harmonious beating, their two hearts
Dolce sweet and strong
En retenant, holding back
These notes so fast so splendid
Hammer on, slowing now
Decrescendo – waning
Thunderous chords strike again
Breathless tempo rising
Plucking every imagined chord
Music for the writing
Silence now, as music lives
Flowing soft Calore
Muted intonation as,
She whispers “Con Amore”
