Such subtle, simple confessions

by Jared Orlando

She's this song; in a key I can recall
In a symphony of melody leaving me breathless and enthralled
Her body lies between these thick black staffs I've meticulously placed
In perfect succession and order to recreate a face
To create a bridge to flawlessly drop all sounds completely; except for
The pre-love-making-breath brushing my neck; I've come to adore
Anticipating fingers stretch wearily across an ivory-keyed machine
To resonate this neo-classical composition into something more serene
As the orchestra gathers in, taking their seats around our heads
They'll carry on my creation about two lovers on this bed

Wonderfully rich in its language. A really great read.
