Silent Keys

For eons piano keys unmoved lay silently asleep
Until touched by supple fingers moved with emotion
Musically mused with poetic flows in my imagination
Long silenced between sealed pages unloved by open eyes
As the breath of your song blows across the stubborn cover
Your winsome ivory smile casting a prism inspiring light
Where ebony shadows once masked their deeper meaning
Beneath the midnight lace dress fit to caress your stunning silhouette
Erupting in vibrations stirring words and notes to achieve apogee
Becoming a tornado of sound pulsing to the rhythm of an unleashed heart
In sync with an old soul released pounding hammers on this claviature
Eighty-eight black and white playmates searching for their lost key
Harmonically tuned with the natural pitch of this treasure chest
Sealing out drafts while holding something precious within
And now you have patiently taught my fingers to sing
Demanding I not stop in the middle of an aural duet
To perform upon the vertebral column a delicate refrain
Into an ascending crescendo until silence cries out to begin again
