I wish
I could
Melt
From your touch
Gracefully
Like a snowflake
Melts
Into its warm
Resting place
Leaving shivers
Of beauty
In its wake
I wish
I could
Merge
Into your melody
Become
An undying piece
Of music
That will never
Fade
I wish
I could
Because
Without
Your touch
Without
Your melody
I am nothing
But a mute
Wanderer
You are
The voice
In my world
Of music

I wrote this piece while waiting for my muse to fly back to me. Some of you may recognize the first verse – I recycled it from my old piece: “Déjà vu” (October, 2013) – it never felt finished to me.

I found this extraordinary painting from Aquileana’s intriguing and inspiring blog!
Mmmmmmm…….wow this is beautiful and you definitely took me to different places.This is so heartfelt

Thank you very much for pointing me towards your post and the beautiful painting, Noora!
I love your poem, as well, I believe it reflects pure and warm sentiments, that I personaly think we should take more time to express towards both the world in general and the ones we love and are close with.
I absolutely adore that second stanza, because it feels like it reflects perfectly what I wish for. My husband is a musician, and it perfectly describes what I would like to be for him forever.
