The ebony and ivory
The ebony and ivory
Old piano in the living room
The ebony and ivory is silent
Forgotten by the owners when moved out
Sadly collecting dust in the dilapidated manor
The ivy grew ,swathing in the leafy blanket
Once proud instrument ,the centerpiece of joy
Encompassed by listeners,admiring clarity of sound
The lilting poetry young maiden's fingers expressed
The ebony and ivory so loved her touch
Even when she pressed them hard in the emotional dejection
Heaven compared only to the lover's brush of tongue
The intimate connection,bringing satisfaction
The girl is gone ,alive in Dead sea scroll's recollection
What about piano? left in the void between two worlds
Decaying rapidly under the sun and rain
Converting into wooden pile ,pieces of ebony and ivory
Picking ,smiling occasionally under rubble''
