Con una Bocca Chiusa, Cantare Per Me

I want to be that muse that inspires your

practiced velvet fingers to kiss the ivory,

caressing the keys of a baby grand just to

catalyze gentle notes into another set of hands,

hands that tickle my heartstrings into a composition

that surpasses the harmonies of angel's .

You’re the composer of my heartbeats,

sounding a subtle symphony of

nervous twitches,

and the flap of butterfly wings

into a melody that makes

Even the man in the moon hum along.

 

There are dynamics of your soul

That lie deaf to untrained ears but

I’m listening intently to

Every phrase that

Flows from fingertips instead of lips.

Hold my hand and teach me.

Be the virtuoso that plays

With the chords of my veins

creating a vibrato so loud

it pounds my atoms into place

like puzzle pieces.

 

And as I lie awake at night

I listen to the music that flows from your

Heart beat into my soul

Filling the veins in my limbs with

Rhapsodies and Sonatas

So when I fall for you

And scrape my knees

I’ll bleed in G minor

Drawing 4ths and 5ths across the sky

Making God himself

Listen so intently to the

Greatest concerto ever written

that he'll invite the Devil himself up to heaven,

saying

"This is why I created

Mankind."
