As he took his seat
His fingers plucked
At the strings
With a lovers touch
Soft and wanting
As the tune began to play out
Beneath the moon
A smile crept upon his face
As each note fell into place
And the soft rhythmic story
Of lovers graced
The waiting crowed
Consumed
His body swayed
As his fingers moved
Instinctively from
One note to the next
Entranced by some unseen memory
Playing beneath his lids
Lovers reminisced
Of their first kiss
Of moments won
And moments missed
Yet he played on
Consumed
And as the final notes
Fell from his fingers
And the emotion
From his heart
The tears in his eyes
The smile on their faces
Said it all
With guitar underarm
Away he walked, into the night

romance finds that melody where it touches the heart in that delectable way..
found in time where smiles are treasured!

Keep penning on one stroke at a time!

hello nell, very very well done. I especially like "a smile crept upon his face/as each note fell into place"...i was wondering about the difference between the italicized and non italicized stanzas;the change in rythm throws me off but my craving for the smoothness of each italicized stanza keeps me reading.

I like this!
Well done nell, there was a bond between the guitarist and the audience and it was vividly protrayed by your poem. Thanks for sharing.
