Her right hand touches her neck,
left hand expertly plays the chords,
melody suspended for a moment,
but not memory of kisses
skimming, teeth nipping, thrilling,
freely flowing over her body;
hands over piano keys, notes repeated,
sometimes traditional, sometimes revolutionary,
waltzing heroic... like a good lover.
She often plays the night,
an escape, when structure unwinds
and romance tilts the room,
enshrines emotions as moon and stars outside
cast shadows upon the lake, twinkling,
willing him back safely into her arms.
Only then she'll allow clasp to be unfastened,
ring taken from delicate chain and placed upon her finger.
When his promised return will be answered with "Yes".

Such a wonderful interpretation of the image, Margaret. Ksa ovear boday nd hands over piano keys - such a cool juxtaposition. I can feel her anticipation of his return, can feel her "yes".
Exquisite in every way!
Very pleasant, Margaret, easy to follow her and the lover. He will be back. I'm glad you threw in the "like a good lover" bit.

Such a sensual and romantic take on the prompt. You have taken all there is to see in the photo and made it your own Margaret. Absolutely lovely! Always a pleasure to see you at the Muse!!

Wonderful use of the image! I noticed the jewelry and love the way you used it in your sexy write! I'm glad she found someone to undo her passion.
