The Pianist by Neetu

April 26, 2019 by in category Poet's Day by Neetu Malik tagged as , , , , 
You play the piano, I listen— 
 notes slide off 
 your fingers
 
 smooth as ambrosia, 
 dripping a symphony 
 or a ragtime song 
 into my senses 
 parched for so long. 
 
 Thirsting for the heady 
 intoxication to fill 
 my emptiness
  
 I turn to see your 
 graceful form, 
 your dancing fingers, 
 mesmerized
 
 the world slips away, 
 as drop by drop, 
 pure enchantment 
 shivers briefly 
 
 then sinks into 
 the deepest 
 tunnels of me.
