At the center of all arrogance, especially regarding art, is a naivity beyond words or brushstrokes. -I said it

The piano plays a perfect song
Violins join
Cellos cry

Dancing begins
I grasp you
Joining the symphony

Movement so graceful
I gasp in awe
Embracing the cacophony

Melancholic thoughts swirl
Surround us like ghosts; We twirl
Gaily we sway; Perfect harmony

Intertwined and feasting
Souls dine on feelings
Lost dreams and hopes

Faith is drained
Dread replaces all
Down we spiral

Falling uncontrollably
Contreversy whispers
Intuition runs

We hide and
The ballroom spins
Out of control we go
