Musical Chairs

Round and round and round we all go
Musical notes defining destiny
Who shall we love?
Who lives and who shall die

Whimsical chords linger softly
As we sing our way along in life
The notes of the universe sing true
The music lives through out all time

Tears fall from my face
Onto musical notes in black
The ink becomes smeared and blurry
Emotions kill the waltz of life

Dance of the Knights, bring me to somber moods
Love and death I know shall embrace
The conductor for this is assured
As round and round we all go

On and on, we dance and twirl
Infinity entwined within our musical scores
Musical sheets, explain lust filled nights
Yet the notes fall flat, upon the floor

The serenade has come to an end
The theorist is laid to rest
Love has died, and thus the musical silence
Wagner told you so

Enjoyed your poem that seems to touch both the highs(finding a chair), and the lows. It's no fun when the games over.

A musical note can enter your heart, leaving it wanting more. To find someone to play a sonata with , would be a dream come true ...Seren

music does amazing things ... in the beginning there was the word? perhaps it was a melodic sound? Light & Love
