This lively tune,
played by the Jazzmen
with Kenny Ball
on the trumpet,
reminds me
of Tatiana, whom I met
backstage, at the Maly Theatre
after a performance
of Chekov’s’ Uncle Vanya
 
A shooting star,
she brought luminescence
into my life, then eclipsed.
As we both loved Art
we thought at first
we were heart twins
but were poles apart.
Yet I sometimes regret
we had to say dasvidaniya

It's wonderful how a piece of music can take one right back to a place and time isn't it Luigi - thank you for this piece

Music is the blue touch paper that lights the fuse of one's imagination.
Many thanks for your feedback (and cherries), Claudine.

Hello Jenny. I believe that everyone can recall real events in their life by listening to music or create in their mind an imaginary scenario. When I hear a Calypso I fantasize about being in Trinidad although I never been to the West Indies.

Warm regards, Luigi xx

"Dasvidaniya" Such a wonderful word. I use that when chatting to my lad's partner who comes from Belarus. Lovely poem, Luigi.
