Out of the blue
Knoa Sivan 1971 (California)
In the blue velvet boughs' seclusion,
alone, she waited for none,
but for one by him
in whom her love,
avowed, was number one
Her strings were tuned just perfectly,
as so tenderly he had strung,
while he followed her neck with the
melodies, with all that of love they had
sung
In silent refrain she awaits,
for her Maestro to open the door,
as dreams recall the brighter tune,
of she, and her love afore
Upon her curves he caressed,
the shape of her as she lay,
while upon her neck his fingerprints,
with passion paved the way
memories were made together,
with music that flow from his veins,
now the whole of her inheritance
and the last
of loves remains
Upon tablature of white,
written in notes of black,
memories of loves’ melodies
before it's presence lack,
A maestro's song of melody,
etched upon her heart,
where now her bosom empty, bare,
left hollow he depart
She looks for the conductor,
that sings into her soul,
while in the darkened corner
she pines for he,
And he alone
With rosened bow prepared,
she longs of his return,
reminded of his gentle touch,
continually as she yearn
Her music is his untill then,
he returns to her and
when,
A final performance
is allowed,
Of her and the Maestro's love
to recite once more and take final bow
How long for him she will await,
in silent refrain is uncertain,
Until at once
loves' closing call,
bring down it's final curtain
She anticipates the time,
in darkened silence as it pass,
to be in his arms once more again,
with music eternal at last
With love as a standing ovation
that echo the hull of her chest,
only then will the silent refrain
by the boughs of blue
let go to give her rest
In the blue velvet boughs of seclusion,
alone,
she waited for love.
