I heard your voice that night,
The scale and notes perfectly right.
The air flowing in trance,
As if in a careless dance.
The instruments trying to produce the best for your repertoire,
But they too were helpless and ashamed looking for 'purdah'.
Never before in my life had I blamed the almighty,
But as I stood there perplexed and filled with anxiety,
Anger filled my heart,
And that day I hated myself for just being Mozart.
I wanted a sweet voice like her,
Too informal and yet sober.
I wanted to sing that song,
I hadn't heard love sing for long.
I wanted to be with her up there,
And take the heavenly path to nowhere.
But I knew only in dreams could there be such a dual,
And I applauded assuming love and god had to be cruel............
