To the Singer Katie Melua
Permit me to say how much I admire
Your voice and music--oh, how they inspire!
Each note from your lips speaks straight to the heart,
Awakening love as from Cupid’s dart.
My world seems to rest when you start to sing,
Entranced to go wherever your songs bring;
Suddenly I find in spite of all strife
A perfect world and a wonderful life.
The shadowy room when your music plays
Fills with colors diffused by the sun’s rays.
Forgetting all my troubles, I rejoice
Listening to your mesmerizing voice.
From fields of gold to the streets of Beijing
My thoughts take flight by each pluck of the string
Of your guitar, and then Time passes by
Like riding a sailboat where Sea meets Sky.
Thank you, Star, for your enchanting presence,
For piece by piece I feel my existence
Radiates at the sound of tones so sweet
From an Angel that makes a day complete.
