Windswept

Windswept

Over sheet music, harmonious movement of sand.
Droplets of rain dance - time swooning on sea and on land.

Cupid’s arrows climb, descend strings of the violin.
Heartthrobs, side by side, in best dress, on seasonal spin.

Fingers up and down long necks, in obeisance of song,
as bow ties glide along knightly, mounting music, strong.

Ultra concentration as the conductor gyrates,
creates, weights, debates, elongates, plaits and translates.

Unity in mass, jealousy laid aside, except
for the audience who longs to climb inside, windswept.

Ebb and flow of tears, patiently are kept and foreswear
allegiance to current marriage with hasty prayer.

Silver fox-french horns, don’t withhold their breaths, breasts pounding.
With lilt, rapturous, they’d give up their lives, resounding.

White pages, pristine ties, good looking manners of tides.
Hourglass climax expires. Silence shatters. Faith abides.
