Prelude

Come into my chamber
I shall color the music low
chill the wine perfect to taste 
and for our light 
catch stray moonbeams 
flirting through the window 
place a candle or two 
scented with citronella,
to intoxicate us.

The drumbeat in my heart 
pounds impatiently, 
my fingers a violin rod, 
flex slowly for the opening chords.
A hush falls over my senses.

Maestro, your orchestra is ready, 
I am your instruments. 
You have the power 
to possess and captivate me. 
At the wave of your hand 
we shall play our very own symphony.
