The melody in my mind

Paintings: Vlaidmir Kush

 When I see you sleeping

The strings in my heart start playing

My headache is of no consequence

I stop and listen to the wonder of love

Is it the music of your beautiful face that warms me?

I feel complete

I reach God

And heavens

I smell the rose with the windows closed

Your hand moves softly under your chin

Now, a Monarch Butterfly flies past our window

It’s even cloudy but the room is bright!

I forget the diamond ring that was stolen the night before

The whole room is shining

I swim in a wave of laughter

You wink

I say I love you

 You don’t say it back

You never do

I have not taught you that kind of love

Ours is just skin deep

It reaches within the heart

It’s in the form of a touch or a scream

It’s constant

Always there

The room is warm, diamonds are shining

Butterfly is in the room

The most beautiful sight

The melody is still playing

I don’t want to wake up

The music stops

I must go

I’m late for work.
