~ the Opera ~

The strumming of these strings

A mesmerizing melody

Beginning to sing....

Taking me within this journey

Of these unencumbered loves

While the keys of pretty play

Note by note....

Upon this brighten stage

Falling upon my heart

Within this unconditional soul

As the winds begin their verse

Removed, from the chambered curse

Higher and higher....

A symphony sounds

Now Rising, before my eyes!

John said so eloquently and beautiful with a mesmerizing flow relating to the audible sounds that you have written. You took me there. God bless you my brother. Michael Torres

I became an opera lover when my daughter sang in the University Choir, and it opened a whole new world of music, that I've learned to appreciate. So many people don't enjoy opera...however, there is now no music, that can make me cry and melt, as an opera aria from Puccini. I enjoyed your poem, John! ~ Blessings, Carrie
