THE VIOLIN PLAYER

CATEGORY

just different

Nubian chin, resting warmly in the talored cup,

      Seals the union;

The smooth bow tenderly caresses each tuned string,

      Fingers, gentle as silk,

Roam the slender mahogany neck: sweetly

      Stealing silence.

The ebony hued harmonic vault echoes released passions

      Of an innocent heart,

Bleeding a mosaic canvas: coloring metered air

      With cosmic rhythms.

Cosmic rhythms: teasing tympanic membranes

     With melodic ecstasy.
