I Hear the Music

I hear the music play, the sad base line echoing the light that shines in your amethyst eyes, those beautiful eyes. Such melancholy mirrored in your sad eyes. Crying melody, the viola paints notes from the inverted rainbow of your upside-down smile, your sweet smile. What sadness weeps from that gentle smile. Wails of bleeding sorrow escape the French horn as, from my embrace, you slide your slender fingers, what soft tender fingers. With gentle caress you touch me with your slender fingers. Then through the twilight comes the tickle of tinkling bells that drip note by note with each tear that you cry, as you sit and cry. Each tear I wish I could dry, each lonely tear you cry.
