Desharah was in the nursery with
The babies. Early afternoon. All was
Calm cool copacetic in their home.
Everybody seemed content.
At Amadeus home his wife Teased
Him. The baby started to cry.
Amani said, "Amadeus go see about
Your son." Amadeus slipped into
The next room and cuddled and
Cooed to Damian Amadeus Hakim
Junior until he fell back into his
Baby dreams. They eventually
Named the baby Amadi. Then
Shortly changed the name again
Finally settling on AJ. Acronym for
Amadeus Junior. Then young father
Smiled at the sight of his sleeping son
Then quietly left the room.

Stray with flamed music along bay’s shoreline
Give in to notes playing among the sand
As fingers dart symphony’s rush, I pine
Caress your tinted strokes written longhand
As I feel allegros bursting moon’s shine
Give in to notes playing among the sand
How can frail youth’s light steal your brightened face
Although your bones lie in common man’s grave
World slain by Requiem, time can’t erase
Smile gently now from brief life lost and craved
Embrace the thought, your name carries blessed praise
Although your bones lie in common man’s grave
Your depth, Amadeus, keeps breath ablaze
Heart touching keys, your passion beyond reach
Embrace the thought, your name carries blessed praise
While centuries resound what you beseech
Stray with flamed music along bay’s shoreline
Heart touching keys,your passion beyond reach
As fingers dart symphony’s rush, I pine.
