For Amadeus
Stray with flamed music along bay’s shoreline
Give in to notes playing among the sand
As fingers dart symphony’s rush, I pine
Caress your tinted strokes written longhand
As I feel allegros bursting moon’s shine
Give in to notes playing among the sand
How can frail youth’s light steal your brightened face
Although your bones lie in common man’s grave
World slain by Requiem, time can’t erase
Smile gently now from brief life lost and craved
Embrace the thought, your name carries blessed praise
Although your bones lie in common man’s grave
Your depth, Amadeus, keeps breath ablaze
Heart touching keys, your passion beyond reach
Embrace the thought, your name carries blessed praise
While centuries resound what you beseech
Stray with flamed music along bay’s shoreline
Heart touching keys,your passion beyond reach
As fingers dart symphony’s rush, I pine.
