Whispers in the Manuscript

[Intro] [Verse 1] Ink-stained pages, shadows of a name, A century’s silence breathes your secret flame. Keys like fingertips trace the lines you hid, A sonata woven where love was forbid. [Verse 2] Moonlight through the ledger, a waltz undone, Johannes’ sigh lingers where the melody runs. Clara’s hands tremble, parchment soft as snow, A chord unresolved—the words they’ll never know. [Bridge] Oh, the margins whisper where the heartache grows, A crescendo buried where the Danube flows. Dotted quavers dance in the candle’s dim, A love etched in allegro, forever a hymn. [Verse 3] Fading quill, adagio, the desk retains Robert’s ghost in harmonies and unspoken pains. Arpeggios unravel what time couldn’t sever— Two souls in a staff, bound beyond forever. [Outro]
