Poem
This hasn't quite worked, so I'll have to revisit it. I listened to Chopin Opus 9 number 1 for inspiration and got lots of sprawling thoughts. I tried to put them into a Rondeau Redoublé format and possibly ruined it. I think it needs free verse but I felt lost between rhyme and what hasn't seemed to naturally form as free verse immediately. The basic of the experience of listening to the music was that I got thoughts of a dance of momentary euphoria that was embarked upon with the full knowledge that everything would always pale thereafter and this moment would be fleeting.

rough notes unfinished free verse version

Heaven awaits me, fleetingly
Captured in your sight
I came alive
To resist costs too much 
Ever forward tiny steps
In this dance
To the edge
I twirl in euphoria
And may fall
Beckoned into the twists and turns
And knowingly entering this dream
With you at my fingertips 
I know how this ends
Allow me, take me there to relinquish myself
To the moment in time
For a moment with you
I'll give my forevers
For this moment
I know the cost
The sawing of emotion
From willingness to dread
Willing for the moment
I carefully tread
So careful but these steps I do not control
So I must lie to myself
I can't run away, compelled forward
I can glide until consciousness
Overwhelms me
One day will be the last
Footsteps into darkness
Not knowing where to head
Overlaid burden
That I taste before I see
That I feel before I admit
Give me time
Tranquil time
Take away the everlasting thought
I'll trudge for eternity
You and I will collide
In the eventuality of existence
And I commit to the dance
Of my forevers 
Leading me back to you

I came alive held in your sight
Never knowing which way to head
Every step towards you feels right
Dampen down thoughts of looming dread

Euphoria tempts steps I tread
Aware the cost, eternal night
Ever willing, never mislead
I came alive held in your sight

The lure of you, I cannot fight
A dance with you a golden thread
You are destiny, I alight 
Never knowing which way to head

Dance with feelings, words left unsaid
Inevitably shadowed blight
Empty forevers lay ahead 
Every step towards you feels right

Unmarred moment, though know finite 
Tangible yearning to embed
To chase you is to chase moonlight
Dampen down thoughts of looming dread

I could never have turned and fled 
This was written in stone outright
I always knew where this path lead
Time remaining, please expedite 
I came alive
