The Music of Love

As one who plays upon the lute is she
Whose tuneful touch plucks music from my soul
And weaves each note into a melody
Of love which twines two hearts into one whole.

In serenade I take her song and sing
It back to her with gentle kiss and sigh
As gasping, grasping, passioned love takes wing
And lifts us like an aria on high.

In fierce embrace and ardent ecstasies
We soar like angels on our upward flight,
Creating and performing symphonies
Of love that touch the stars and thrill the night.

Then joined as one, as close as two can get,
We sing our song of love as a duet.
