I hear the Violins,
Vouching for each trivial,
But fair feature of yours that lies chaste.
I hear the Violas,
Bearing the melancholy,
Your heart conceals deep within.
I hear the Cellos,
Pouring the velvety essence of love,
In my sullen ears.
I hear the Woodwinds,
Singing for beauty, calling for love-
All in unison.
But then the Clarinet disagrees,
For the sheer taste of dissonance.
There,the Oboe tries to moderate,
As the Flute flares up,
Emphatically proposing the passion be mutual.
Then the Strings intervene,
And all play in unison-
The purest articulation of the desire,
For love - yet unmet.
I hear the Brass finally,
With Percussion on its side,
Sounding as though Zeus were to erase Mount Olympus,
Arising turmoil,
Provoking the Strings and the Winds,
Ousting the gentle harmonies,
And ousting the gentle melodies,
And alas! ousting the very notion of love.
Yet,I love the symphony.
And You - are the symphony.
The most beautiful I've heard.
