One Night She Played the Violen

One Night She Played the Violen

I was suddenly hearing the music of the violin

Breaking the silence of four in the morning  

 In the darkness I found your naked silhouette

straddling a chair from the dining room set

your raven hair covered with moonlight glow;

like angels were listening outside your bay window

 I felt every movement of your hands and bow

transfixed I became, by your one woman show  

music stopping, playing, then starting again

scratching a melody, you just caught in the wind   

 and even more beautiful to me, you became 

O breathless mystery, wordlessly, I did declare

 they is no one like this, she is 'woman, most rare'

A glorious tribute to musicians, the escapism of being lost in the beauty of music, and the sense of being transfixed by  its origin !

A truly wonderful piece !

:)  Wishing you all the best !

Hey sister Cherie, thank you for your comments (easily the best on this site) I appreciate it very much that you comment on the poem, instead of me; I know I'm an ok poet, and as long as I continue to improve, I'll keep posting....I was trying to show a 'contrast'...the narrative is surprised by this seemingly unusual behaviour, and yet he is amazed as well by the sudden revelation....wow intelligent commentary makes these interactive sites a real treat to be on, thanks again...have great evening

Flower! happy you like this one, honestly I can never tell what will be liked or not by the readers; one of the reasons I still post poetry, I find that 'fun' in a morbid way; not knowing for sure if anything will be read, I'm a big fan of yours as you well know, so you liking something I post takes away the 'guilt' lol, hey have a great evening my friend....thanks for saying all those nice things, I do appreciate....

CO, where you been my friend?  (lol I don't generally spend much time on here lately either) it's good to see you though....what's this you don't always read 'love poems' ...me neither actually, sure this is a 'love poem' but it ain't 'flowery' enough to make the eyes roll lol; in my opinion... I don't like reading or writing those, that is not necessarily 'bad' poetry, but I 'generally' don't 'feel' them, but to each his or her own....hey brother glad you enjoy the poem, and I really appreciate the encouraging comment as well....have great day

Susan, wow it's been too long...and you have a great memory, I wrote this one about 3 years ago, posted it on here but, lol...due to an unfortunate misunderstanding it may have been misplaced, but Chris keeps all the originals of his work, and due to his generous spirit he will on occasion donate a copy to his favourite poetry site...lol, so in other words; yes this is an edited version of that one of 3 years ago...hey it really is good to hear from you, and thanks for, first of all remembering the poem, and your encouraging comment as well, your 'forever friend'  appreciates it very much,  talk soon, thanks again kiddo

blessing to you as well, Gordon, I'm really in appreciation of your feedback; to be honest this is not one of my favourite poems that I've posted on this site, I like it but it's just 'okay' for me, but I do intend to publish a book on poetry in a year or two, so being on a poetry site really opens my eyes as to what other eyes like or dislike; very educational....appreciate, my friend...

Hello, Christopher! I like this piece, it is moments caught in the early morning, and your writing is so descriptive! So far, with what I've read from you, you are a master of description! I am going to read the "Island of Fogo (sic)" again, was so drawn to it!
