Salieris lament

SALIERI’S LAMENT

History has painted me black my friend
Those who choose the words which are recorded
And those discarded
Chose them well
They try to give you a brighter sheen
But your light would shine
Through any screen or twist of words by any man
I admired you, yes
As you knew
As any man would admire another blessed by Angels
More, blessed by God Himself
But my admiration was never once turned to envy
My eyes never gazed with avarice
As your fingers
Teased and enticed perfection
From wood and strings

True
You made me question my talent
In the shadow of genius
I defy any man not to
But I neither hated nor desired to be you
I do not think you knew
I was there that night
When ‘The Magic Flute’
Brought scenes
Ne'er seen before
When the crowds beat the door
To be in to witness the wonder

I did not poison you, Wolfgang
It would be beyond my hand
To take from this world
Such a blessed spirit
I was there at the last
When they put the body of a man
Who created glory from simple sound
Into holy ground

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
