Beautiful Music
by Amanda Velez
You are a melody
running through my mind.
I cannot get myself to
hum another tune.
Your melody attracts
my musical inclination like
no other song I've heard.
Though I have written
down the notes to
this lovely piece
in my mind,
over and over again,
I am still a little apprehensive
about playing it aloud.
How could I ever know
if you would allow me to?
But I would love to indulge
in playing this piece
over and over again.
And I would love to be
the words to your
catchy melody.
I'd be glad to let you play
the keys of my piano,
if only you'd let me bang
on your very steel drum.
We could be a duet.
Harmonious with every inhale.
In Sync with every exhale.
And, together,
You and I, could make
Beautiful Music.
