Guitarist in Concentration

Kneeling on the floor, you're Completely Absorbed in the music

You cradle your instrument like a lover

squeezing out the notes like my own private muse

and the sight just takes my breath away

You're completely alone in your own little world,

a world I wish I could be part of.

Fingers deftly choosing the notes

of a tune I've never heard,

you enchant me with your oblivious concentration

and I watch, fascinated by your siren song

transfixed

and I'd follow you anywhere if you'd ask me now

but then the spell is broken

you put down your guitar,

look up, smile,

"How was that?"

and I can barely manage to choke out a

"Ah...you've done better..."
