My Love Affair with Music

Vector Image by  Gabriella Fabbri

Penetrates my soul so deeply,

Inducing fits of pleasure in all my senses;

Tremors flowing from my brain to the tips of my toes

Brings supernatural healing to all my woes

With peculiar sounds and keys

Sharps, flats, and high g's

Profound basslines, sweet melodies

A rush of winds, brass, and tambourines

There is no time while the music plays

While the iPod sings, my energy stays

Where the treble increases, and stresses stray

And all physical anguish is washed away

Eyes closed, head back, I'm so relaxed

Heart beats in synch, and flows with the tempo

Humming along, or softly singing, then

Falling silent under the spell of the sax

I'm aptly drawn to great compositions

Ascending chords, and smooth transitions

Clever arrangements and chord progressions

I proudly confess, it's my greatest obsession

So rewarding, a song in tune

Sweet as the nectar produced in June

Hypnotizes, as it mesmerizes

A powerful sedative that tranquilizes

Enhanced with vocals in perfect timing

And perfect pitch, the lyrics rhyming

Yes indeed, my favorite pastime

With enormous impact that lasts a lifetime
