Our Music
I
What you and I are experiencing,
In this time of ours,
Is emblematic, symbolic, archetypal,
A syncopation of our lives,
Nothing less than a rhapsody of our two souls,
Playing in the key of timelessness.
II
Tonight, at French 75,
Ensconced in a burgundy-leather banquette,
Our bodies reverberating
To Mike Hamilton's guitar and piano,
Transfixed by the mystical vibrations
Emanating from his improvisatory rhythms, phrasings,
We intermingle fingers, gently hold hands,
Across the table from each other,
And we know we're not lost
In the space separating us,
Rather suspended
In the perpetual entwining of our intimacy,
In the infancy of our affections' tender immensity,
Which composes the score of our souls
As the cosmos weaves its harmonies
Into the strings and keys that release our love.
