YOUR OWN WORDS

Melodies Sizzle by Wendy Martin-Torres                                      march 2017

Picture
​As the rain drizzles
Coldness is not felt
A melody softly sizzles

They do not need food 
Nor any shelter
Only the sultry mood

He leans in to her
Smoothly like a band that plays
They blend pefectly together

The love of everything is there
Always building between them 
Nothing to fear

Moving to the sound
Music gives a high
Feet barely touching the ground

Though it's dark
Shadows plaguing the night
It never dims the musical spark 

Instruments pulse like a heartbeat
Sensual cords pulled with precision
Oblivious to anyone else on the street.
