Within enchanted hour of twilight sky.
In my heart, Chopin is softly calling
Lovely piano notes that make me cry.
As Luna...

she is tranquillity
yet lava flows in her veins

cut her open and you'll burn

she is Eve's apple
nemesis to patriarchy

one bite and you'll bleed

he loved her
without restraint
She could be herself

Love you 
Each single day
I do

Doing
My best always
To tame
 
Taming
My beating heart
To hear

Your words, your thoughts
Your life

We twice as well
As one

Is a blessing 
We Share

Practiced

Practice
Makes perfect,...
