Ironwood Violin

I saw you with my ears; before my eyes could ever let you in
Felt you deep within my heart; before my fingertips could begin
Fully lost; I found a new spectacular, hopeful; kind of grin
My mind felt piquant; long before my lips ever sensed your soft skin
Your laughter; plays song melody, like an Ironwood violin
Ignoring my blindness; helped me discover your soul, deep within

The title caught my attention. It was a pleasant read, but, inspired by Ironwood, I'm still trying to figure out. Bows from ironwood I can understand. Violins are typically made from spruce, willow, maple, ebony, and rosewood. I wonder what Ironwood would produce. It must be very interesting.

Hello Martin, thank you very much for the interest and commentary! My intention with the Ironwood violin was to personify how unbreakable the beauty of her laughter is. In the whole it is about hearing the laughter before ever seening the Muses face. Best regards A.S.
