~ 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! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ The Opera ~

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
