A Musical Surrender

A Musical Surrender

Music sweet as love overflows
from my love-laden secret hours .
Music sooth her heart of soul
Impassioned resonance 

whispers from my heart,
beside the gentle, 

graceful stream's ripple.


Does the melody arouse 

some muted desire?
Flowing peacefully 

with the river’s song?


Avow the dazzling starlit sky
Enrapture the sweetest song
escaping into nature’s ear.
Above the moon rains
her enchanting beams down
Like flowing notes 

of effervescent radiance;


Harmonious, 

delightful sounds ,
As sad and deep as
Lamented love's buried treasures .


Surrender to love’s song
as the tides of love flood
The barren tide pools 

of lonely hearts ;
Whatever past tides 

ebbed away
from the love of life ?


Concede the flooding currents
    fill the heart so full of love ...
the most melodious 

of all the harmonies ;
that one last drop,
one last tear 

of joyful surrender , 

a waterfall

Let love’s blossoms swell
Into rain awakened flowers .
The genesis of splendor awaits,


The love song’s 

intimate accompaniment ,
Yielding an inspiring 

dream’s transcendence .
Enabling the sound of music
touch our moonlit slumber
as we embrace 

in the gentle stillness

Of our merciful surrender…
