summer sun dappled over the bowl of pears,
while champagne glasses begged to be filled with laughter,
as his fingers flew over piano keys - crescendo, sharp, diminuendo-
she didn't believed in palm reading (including tarot cards),
destiny carved by family genes (even if they are colorful),
nor travelling alone (she loves noisy company)-
but when his heart gave way, suddenly, music bubbled flat

Posted for D'verse Poets Pub - 5th anniversary celebration. Please check out Claudia's interview and our poetry prompt is sevenling poem about music.
My poem is based on my high school classmate's hubby who suddenly died of his first heart attack this past week. It was traumatic as it was unexpected.
