On Paper Thin

You squeal on clarinet 
I scratch on violin
Difference between us
Is paper thin?

In Plato’s cave
I crave your flesh
Your shadow is all
Desire can save. 

You squeal you say
To me music play
I scratch all day
To you I pray

These words we change
Inked art to begin
Inscribe loves mind
On my paper thin.

Really enjoyed this one and especially likehow the title is woven in ... thanks so much for your recent comment ... I'd love to come and see the Emerald Isle but it would have to be by boat as I don't fly ... I imagine thats how my great grandparents came ... smile ... Have a great 2010, David and thanks for bringing your talent to the Soup!!
