Making Love To Beethoven

There was poetry in their lovemaking,
the way he brushed her hair aside
 as he gazed piercingly into her eyes,
she welcomed his tender caresses
   as well as his demanding fervor,
he cherished her sensually inclined
  free spirit pleasing his every whim,
the rhythmic concerto between 
 them whispered Moonlight Sonata
   & climaxing crescendos' finale 
amid Beethoven's 5th symphony
  of harmonious little deaths further
      intimate refrains' melodic dalliance

Embrace the inner music. With Beethoven in veins, and Mozart in ears, I magically recall the strange Passacaglia of Webern to finally as a child jumping and hopping and hoping while singing: I feel pretty, oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and bright...I feel charming...

Barry White and his love orchestra doesn't play Beethoven. The poem is down right sexy, Paloma.

When I saw the title my first thought was, why do you want to make love to that old dude...he's dead, isn't he? :) Lets talk steamy concerto #9...holly moly, now it is I who needs a shower and a pair of waterproof headphones. This was cool and hot at the same time Paloma.
