the day gives you up
the day gives you up to me
in a sunset stained by roses
you turn over
in bed and whisper
soft words
that sound like Chopin’s études
and i wonder
what you’ve said
in your gentle piano voice
until the dark
swallows us completely
and in a remembered rhythm
breaking the confinement of two
into one
at last i am sure that
after a lifetime of searching
this final surrender to love
is all that there is
left to know
in a sunset stained by roses
you turn over
in bed and whisper
soft words
that sound like Chopin’s études
and i wonder
what you’ve said
in your gentle piano voice
until the dark
swallows us completely
and in a remembered rhythm
breaking the confinement of two
into one
at last i am sure that
after a lifetime of searching
this final surrender to love
is all that there is
left to know
You have written the perfect love poem. As for the music video ... oh my goodness. The truth is that I'm speechless ...
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like the poem and the video.
DeleteIt's been a fun week of poetry ... I'll have to do it again soon ...
words woven into loveliness
ReplyDeleteFantastic end to a week of poetics. Beautiful words composed with flair. I have to confess lingering over these words more than once :)
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies ... sometimes all you hear on Blogger are the echoes of your own voice ... ;o}
ReplyDeleteNicely written. I've always been more of a morning person in that respect myself.
