Literary flashback: Duet

I guess this would be the poem that started everything. This got me smiling as I was reading it again. A lot has happened ever since, including the fact that we are 10,000 miles from each other right now.

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!

See you soon.


As the music starts, 
the heart beats with it. 
Slow, unsure but sincere, 
the little notes floated faintly 
across the lighted room. 

An intake of air before the first line. 
The sudden anticipation, 
like laying down the red carpet, 
before Melody gracefully walks in. 

The first few lines came out by instinct. 
Words were spoken as 
the outlines were being filled. 
But as the notes rushed by, 
so did the emotions, 
transcending, building up. 
It made the words heavier, 
but the notes lighter. 

With every breath held, 
as if one’s life depend on it. 
With every word spoken, 
as if it were their very last. 
Passions pouring, 
voices trembling.

And as if on cue, 
Harmony blended in, 
soaring across the dim-lighted room, 
like any time you can take on the world together.  

Such a perfect moment created within seconds, 
but a memory that will last with every beat, note and tune of life.
