Graceful Ballad
by Christy Roberts

my heart is but an instrument
a mere harp
abandoned by its musician
yet your breath  ... is but a song
whispered in my ear
stirring my soul
awakening deep chords within me

the harmony of my desire ... blends
with the melody of the love I feel
it orchestrates a perfect tune
to which I dance
floating along on the brink
of beautiful music.
the graceful ballad ... of my heart
