The Pianist

Gossamer net he weaves,
tropical in its warmth,
and despite the audience,
plays these silken sounds
for her ears alone.
Weaves it round the
one he loves
when words fail,
with music
fragrant,
soulful,
intimate.
Draws her near to his heart
as she draws out
the music from his love.

You are welcome Air. Nice to hear from you again.
It was done for a contest with a picture prompt; a piano player playing for a sultry young lady.
Speaking of 'air'; have you read my 'Ocean of Wind' ?

Women are like the mortar of the brick building.

G'Day Poewhit.
Mortar eh? I was going to make a bad pun about women and getting plastered, but I think I'll pass that by.
Love is the glue that binds.
My wife has certainly held my life together over the last decade of illness!
An aside - one of the benefits of living in Australia is that we get all the reruns of Morse, Frost, The Bill, and The Time Team. Even the BBC evening news.
Have a nice English winter's day.
