Renaissance [poetry]

Tales From Paris

The strings of piano whispered to me

A profound secret no one would ever tell

Sworn to the moon,

And witnessed by the stars

A love story between the piano and the night,

Love-worn men trying with all their might

A ravenous conquest-

An affair between the quill and parchment

Dainty hands that held faint ones

And the strong ones that stroked at night

The antiquities of lovers' quarrel-

Poems in the long lost dark

The resurrection of the fallen

And the reminiscence of the ones lost.
