Music Box

The piano plays softly,

each key breathing a note.

The rhythm slow and steady,

my focus distantly remote.

All color washes out,

black and white taking over.

Figures appear before my eyes,

An apparition of lost roamers. 

They dance along the piano,

feet barely reaching the floor.

Suits and elegant dresses fuse,

back and forth they go.

Diamonds glowing, ball gowns flowing,

we've landed back a couple eras.

A handsome lad comes along, 

his gloved hand outstretched.

Our hands intertwine,

the floor collapsing underneath.

The piano still sings a lullaby,

your eyes the color of spring leaves.

We're twirling inside a music box,

We've been forever so.

But this song is coming to an end,

Please don't let go.

But we're still dancing.

We'll be forever so..

Interesting ad carried with a mysterious vibe, almost to the point of being dark or ominous, or at least that's how I saw it. In any case, it's an imaginative piece of work

Reminded me of the wondrous enchantments in Anastasia... your words weave a magic of music and dance... elegantly voiced and tender, yet with a song as enduring as time... Beautifully done... Hope you'll never stop writing, my friend.

I love this! It's captivating, and has this fairy tale, magical, sort of happily-ever-after touch to it. ;) You have a wonderful imagination! This was a beautiful piece, and the way you write is amazing. Flawless :D
