Make Music (photo prompt poetry)
Play me
listen to those low tones
that come from my heart
a depth only you can produce
***
Play me
each finger has a special place
knows the inner core
of my being
***
Play me
to your dying day
hear the soft sweetness
of love we share
***
Play me
as you lean into me
and I into you
we make the sweetest
Music
This picture is a poetry photo challenge from my friend Charles Martin. This photo is a man who has had a long, loving life as a jazz player. Hear the Bass’ words, feel fingers produce beauty as they together make music.
awwww, moon, this is so beautiful. it brings a smile to my lips to know there is love like this and one point or another we feel it, yearning for it never to stop.
“Play me
to your dying day”

Music is relational isnt it – I could see the correlation between an instrument and it’s master and lovers

Lovely write. It speaks to me clearly of the bond between musician and instrument, and the love for playing. Instrument and musican merge and the sound of it is beautiful. – Bill
