Charm me, darling
Perchance I forget
“Behind every song is an untold story,” he said.
With a gentle nudge
He whispered, “Come dance.”
The notes began from silence
And in the still, I fell
Drunk on him
Time signatures filled the room
Apollo cradled Calliope
As the music played on
Lyrics overtook me
Words slipped like honey from my tongue
I spoke
Of never-ending summers
Starry nights, we chased till dawn
Of sea shells and ocean waves
A siren’s lilting song
Candle lit moments
Before time left me wondering,
Is there any poetry left?
He pulled me closer
As the music played on
Music painted on silence
Gave wings to my soul
Strong magic
Lifted me from the ashes
He kissed my broken
Poured the poetry back in
As the music played on
~ Apollo and Calliope
