Melody

Pale fingers on glistening keys,
await melody to begin,
for song to play itself.
At timid fingertips, black and white ally,
but not so emotions.
Can’t say no,
but yes not justified.
Giving in is letting go.
Denying love, no option.
Simple music, sing the song of dissonance,
mourn elusive longed-for light.
Compose fears in harmony,
music amend darkness.
De capo al fine.
