she quivered under his touch
they soared together

in old age
he longs for her response
chords of chiaroscuro

it often feels
as though life gathers stones
upon puerile sand

rising toward hubris
ever further from the source

sorting through memories

of concerts and piano recitals

rheumatoid fingers tickle


broken forgotten keys

inlaid with the laughter of

ebony and ivory

her active mind
recalls notes she once played
musical memories linger

piled up like flat stones
on hot sand

sun beats down

a missing note
the broken heart of ivory
silent in neglect

no soft touch
will sound the final tone
of longing's love

old damaged piano 

once caressed by skilled fingers

now silenced forever


what masterly hands

unlocked pure magical music via

delicate the music
of a serene piano melody 
soothing for souls

let it flow
now become a white swan
drifting in peace

reverberating regret resounds
 in cacophony’s heavy metal discord
