his nocturne

ξ
he is slouched in a chair,
all of his energy spent
mesmerized by a resplendent view ∼
he has captured the essence of the one he holds dear
and
their love
which will forever hold true
ξ
she has enraptured his soul
since the day they first met
and
inspired sweet music within…
her existence has touched each melody composed ∼
her beauty flowing through
strings
of
each violin
ξ
she is the rhapsody
which fuels the beat of his heart
and
a most precious gift from above ∼
inspiring him to bring his music to life
with
her spirit
and
undying love

Thanks. This piece is one of my favorite pieces of music. (I have a special love for the Russian composers – especially the Mighty Five and those they mentored). Some of this particular movement can be heard in the musical Kismet – the song Strangers in Paradise is in this show.

Thank you. This piece of music is so romantic and purely beautiful. When I found out he wrote it for his wife, it made so much more sense.
