Body Music

A poem uses the language of music to describe love between two people.

Body Music


an abandoned golden harp
sits waiting, anticipating
to come alive with sweet melodies
as you glide over me
plucking notes, a sensual symphony

erotic tunes
a lustful loving production
flowing like warm honey
between you and me
hummingbirds, nectar and bees

we took a wrong turn
forgot the reason it fit so well
female shape of a guitar
the use of your long slender fingers
rising notes from my fret board

how could we forget
the tears from the bass
joy of a screaming sax
wrapping us up sublimely
in pure lustful music
