Our Love in Concert

A short poem connecting love and passion with violins.

OUR LOVE IN CONCERT

Rounding the curve
of your spine
being so like a violin
as to resonate
within hollow chambers
of past failures

no less sacred
are you
no less splendid
are you
than the swoop and sigh
performed in St. Paul’s Cathedral

And what can I do
but kneel to
the echo in your whisper
pay homage to
the augment and cadence
of your caress

I will sing to you
of timeless vibratos
rising and falling
with passionate legato

I will shelter you
like varnish
a second skin

My beloved
