Sounds Of Romance Poem by Imelda Ortega Suzara

Gliding fingers on keys on a nocturne,
Mind and heart intent on composition,
The Maestro's face expressed a taciturn
Smile. Back hurting, he shifted position
Continuing his frustrating straggles,
Deciding which keys and sounds, up or down,
To match his heart and passionate struggles.
Flowing music -with hesitating frown,
He put a pause and stop determining
That cautiousness in courtship was needed.
Falling in love then marriage -what meaning
Could be gained or lost if someone weeded
Out the unworthy suitor, romantic
But impractical, headlong and frantic?
