Piano Man

Morning Sonata
I went with you to the practice room
watched you play piano
Your fingers hit the keys
and another pin fell into place 
in the lock deep inside me
Your style was not graceful
You didn't coax music from the instrument
so much as expect it
demand it
Yours were hands
not to be trifled with
I wanted those hands to unlock
the music I thought had died
I wanted those hands to make me sing
love songs 
in the key of ecstasy.

Wow! Who are you? That was quite erotic. This is quite some mise droppings you've laid.

Brian Miller said...

oo la la now that is some kind of music...and the hands to demand it...smiles...

Bryan White said...

So you like piano players, eh? I can kind of...sort of...play a little bit of Yankee Doodle Dandy. Pretty impressive, huh?

Unknown said...

HOT! So much, both inferred and said, and great pacing to boot.

I, too, notice a man's hands. One of the first things I admired about my one true love.

are you a singer? nothing like being a singer and really singing your accompanist a love song....

Mary said...

Even if the style is not graceful, I hope that it will inspire a love song. (I myself almost wrote a poem about always singing off key, but singing nonetheless.)

Wonderful, Lola. Love this:
"and another pin fell into place

I like the mixed metaphors. Nice working of the sensual with the tangible lock and key. Really good.

JustRex said...

Ah, me. I fell briefly in love with a piano player once. They are fascinating sexy beasts aren't they?

Nice, sensual metaphor. I like where you went with that key.

Dave King said...

Nice use of the key word. An enjoyable read. Thanks for it.
