The Art of Orpheus


To create is his only wish 

His only dream, his only desire 

To move people with emotion, sound, and color

The very things he so beautifully arranges 

 

But she is not just a beautiful thing 

She is a beautiful love 

She is his beautiful love

She is his, as he is hers 

 

Orpheus marvels at the work 

he so diligently produces 

Under the lights, 

in front of the camera 

 

His love the center of attention 

Eurydice looks up at him 

Her cheeks as roses 

Her skin glowing 

Under those bright iridescent lights 

 

She will give him a wink

He fulfills his wants and desires 

Through placing his figurines 

His characters 

On stage where he knows best 

 

But he fulfills his soul 

By making his love 

The center of it all
