This is for You (You Know Who You Are)

She stands there in the corner waiting Stands still beckoning to me like we’re dating But I remember the thrills of that first awakening My fingers warm against her cool. I fell for her light touch My ordinary stray caress Devoids her of dampening dress Opening her lid, And she sounds to the hall that I’m her lover like no other. Lest you think ours is a one-way relationship, Know that to me she gives companionship, A release from worldly norms and Immolation of earthy forms Only to rest in sonic sound-scape Where a simple press delights And a pedal puts all wrongs right. She is my Wiley temptress, A romance on three legs, Albeit a little brittle about the tuning pegs; But forgiven is a stray buzz and vibration When she sounds forth the river of racket I’m making. My baby grand piano.
