DRAMATIC, EMOTIONAL and POWERFUL piano song "Heartbroken"-original comp...

...and when I listen...

the sounding
the bell tolls
the spirit lilting
pulsing waves
the music the music
hands in grace
faith's crescendo
and known be
the WAY of the Heart.

Sandro Plays...

one feels
one perceives
one is moved
by the sounding passions
by the lilting hues
by sensibilities awakened
it is Sandro who plays
who defines mood and emotion
the feel of Presence
in full expression
in full artistry
piano piano
a soaring rapture
it is Sandro who plays
BRAVO dear Sandro
BRAVO.

Keys and Strings

Keys and strings
The splendor of sound
Heart and spirit ever to resound
Blessed be the muse, the music sublime
Creation's call known in sounding divine
Heard be the winds and the rolling waves of sea
Tender the touch, deep passion in mounting plea
Bloom and petals alight in frivolity play
To the awakened reverie I do pray
Lilting sentiments resonant and real
The muse, the music, the soul to reveal.

Liebestod

Passion's pulse in command
Piano keys await your hand
Sounding this array of emotion
Fingers set in waves of motion
God, Truth, Power, Love and Grace
Known with each finger placed
Piano keys voice spirit’s calling plea
Presence, reflections, lyrical reverie
Gloria Patri be the praise, the claim
Held is this grandeur in your name.

This Awakened Heart

The coolness of morning dew upon leaf
The gentle ripple of moving waters
The caress of soft winds
The feel of shimmering veils in sounds I hear
The embrace of each piano key
And known be this awakened heart.

Passion, Piano and the Poet’s Pen

Passion, piano and the poet's pen sublime
Music and artistry 'tis nature's grace divine
The music, the words, the poem's soulful plea
Impassioned strings of heart known and set free
The artist's unveiling, the poet's word
And the music, the music, to be ever heard
These gifts of purpose, will and intent
Summon be the Muse with God's blessings sent.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

Brush and Key

The expression of sound with touch and stroke of hand
The embrace of a knowing in spirit's command
The call of the music the instrument to convey
Artist and musician, the muses at play.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

And to us it be known

hands in the creator's command
with brush beauty to behold
upon keys the heart be told.

Firebird, the flame the flight
Fills this chamber this night

Fields, waves and firmament
Moods, desire and contentment.

Lure Divine

Pangs of a ravenous hunger pulse within this heart
Chambers void and barren when from you I depart
Prods of passion to awaken this questing soul
Yield I to the echo, the chime of the calling toll
Ascent these waves of emotion cresting free
From this depth of knowing I shall not flee
Piano, piano each key a seductive lure divine
Touch, and be known this heart, this soul mine.

Rose Marie Raccioppi
