Music of Love

Based on the muse of Shakespeare's famous line of Twelfth Night-------------
" If music be the food of love, play on..." 



If music be the food of love, play on
it's sweet and caressing melody...  
Hum along strums of an hypnotic smile
and enraptured in it's soft laughter
hand in hand ...let love dance with love.
Wistful jazz and graceful waltz will meld
a soothing ensemble of fluid moments
in free flowing Aurelia,...in showers of love.
Let the magic play on listless major chords
syncing all B-sharp and D-flat scales.
Let serenade touches on strings of heart 
pluck bass into a treble of elixir.
Let drizzle of joyful tears, color humdrums of life 
and cicada chorus will brighten a lulled spring sun
and clouds will kiss each other in eclectic sonata. 
Let gold hazel eyes on a faceless beauty
haunt a fantasy love-song with no sad lyrics. 
Music indeed is food of love...
with a bit of sugar and a pinch of salt
spicy and bittersweet , ... both music and love
Let ink of Shakespeare keep the feeling alive. 
In phantasms of dream, carved in finesse utopia.
Let background orchestra play the somber reality.
