American Jazz pianist and
composer Thelonious Monk
Piano Man
Piano man, won't
you play for me
See it in your eyes
your one desire
Would it be for me
sole audience
Merely tickling keys
in the mornings
Practicing for nights
play just for me

A beautiful piano love poem Jim. It could be a song!
ReplyDeleteJim, your poem reminds me of the Neil Diamond song, "Play Me."
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. I researched this artiste and did enjoy listening to his work
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday Jim.
Much love...
I believe if the setting had been optimal he may have played just for you (and Mrs. Jim.)
ReplyDeleteSome songs are very special to the person. As if it has personal meaning.
ReplyDeleteI hope you listened to a lot of Monk as you were researching the poem. Great stuff!
