Vieuxtemp's violin bleeds
songs filled with melancholy notes
that mourn and chafe the heart.
Gentle as a girl he reposes
in his nude room a breath away
from the sound of falling rain in Brussels.
He allows Martine inside. And she takes
him beneath the moaning drapes,
his face shrouded.

I went to your blog, Cynthia Marie and read lots of your poems and tried to leave this comment, but there was a blogger id problem, so I thought I would leave here instead...
