Making Beautiful Music Together

There’s fire in the way your eyes do smolder with lust your gaze caresses every curve of my body making you grow bolder to trill and pluck and tingle every nerve. Arousing touch awakens my desire as waves of passion roll like timpani, ravished by your rapture takes me higher our movements in sonata symphony. Your bow - my violin we do unite on rhythmic notes of ecstasy we fly ~ entwined our heartstrings vibrate through the night emblazoned love songs burn across the sky. In Stradivarius intensity crescendo joins your virtuosity.

Susan, in contrast to the poem of yours I just read ("Unemotional"), this just soars like an otherworldly aria. Your obvious love of music shines through with your many references to orchestral delights, but never more than your couplet, "In Stradivarius intensity / crescendo joins your virtuosity." Love the bow/violin connection. This sonnet makes me smile, a fav! Musical hugs ~ John

Indeed! Love does soar on Stradivarius strains! How could it not? :) There is something about strings, John, especially the violin's, that stirs creativity and expresses deep emotions so soulfully. It's an honor to receive your beautiful comments and your fav. The delight of your visit causes my heart to smile.. my face too! :)) Thank you, my friend for spending some time with my poem. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

Divine music: very beautiful, Susan. I also think strings, especially the violin, are very close to the heart and spirit of the creative vibration. And here, you have composed a symphonic masterpiece of affection.

Susan Ashley
