A Duet of the Lovers

(Draft.... Three?)

She –
With her black shimmering hair
and pale slender fingers –
cradles an exquisite violin.
Dark as midnight
and grasping the bow,
She
unfetters
a string of notes

They slid into the air
reaching out and promising comfort
Only wanting the listening minds
of the audience
Hypnotically
They gaze back at her
with blank eyes.
The notes f a d e
into silence

when she begins to play
a slow and sweet tune.

The wave delicately kissed the audience.
Snuggling in their ears and whispering affectionately.
Warm smiles populate their faces
And they listen closer.

She withheld a serene expression
as she played,
swaying and singing with her violin.
The newly captivated audience
followed with their enlightened ears and brightening eyes

He strode onto the stage.
His disarray of gold hair shadowing his closed eyes.
Gripping his violin and surly sawing.
Anguish
rising up from him
screaming.

His music lashed into the air.
Resonating deeply. Angrily.
Whipping to no avail.
His fingers flew with raw emotions
Bow strokes strong
clipped
and quick.
He leaned with his rage,
stomping and lunging,
shuddering with sick pleasure
at the empowerment of his
malicious legion of notes
that suppressed her sweet
melodious life
to oblivion.
The notes crashing
plowing into each other.
Catastrophe
Mayhem
The air charged with strong energy
striking and utterly shocking.

The watching eyes.
Jaws slack.
Ears assaulted.
Minds closing.
No protection
from such a feral musician.

He was playing with such negativity and rage
that it seemed she could do little
to quench it.
And they watched,
as he opened his eyes and found her.
For a short moment

he stopped.

Their eyes connected.

They held
and looked.
Gales of silence snuffed out any noise,
any rebounding notes
any thoughts.

The pale green pools of her eyes
mingling with stark blue.
Breaths in correlation with the other.
Her eyes watching his
with compassion
and determination.
And his bore into hers with unobtainable madness.


She spoke one word.
But with it was a plethora of good intent.
The single syllable blended with the silence
And reached his ears with timid fingers,

Please.

Their eyes held each other.
She swept up her violin
and began playing.

He didn't dare close his eyes.

He dared to listen.

The audience sat it awe.
Eyes lingering on him.
Ears lapping up her lyrical affections.
Watching
as he was stripped of his anger.
She eased away the pain.
Her notes
caressed his heart
and kissed his mind

He was in rapture.


(Draft Seven(final))


She cradles an exquisite,
dark as midnight , violin,
unfettering a string of notes.
They reach out into the emptiness,
shimmering, glorious and pure.
Alive with rhythm and purpose,
filling an empty space with beauteous melodies.

He strode onto the stage gripping his bow and surly sawing. Anguish rising up from him,
screaming his notes into the air.
Resonating deeply. Angrily. Cruelly loud and powerful. His fingers flew with raw emotions.
Bow strokes strong
clipped
and quick.

The notes crashed,
plowing into each other.
Catastrophe.
Mayhem.
The air charged with strong energy.
Striking and utterly shocking.


Their eyes connected.

The pale green pools of her eyes
mingling with stark blue,
watching with compassion
and determination.
His bore into hers with unobtainable madness.

Their eyes held each other.
She swept up her violin
and began playing.
Her lyrical affections caressing
his musical mind and heart,

He couldn't look away.
