Mistress Mine Poem by Wendell Belden

A graceful mistress of mine

That soothes and caresses

Or excites and inspires

Depending only on my need.


She is always there when desired

Never tarries or complains

Is understanding of my deepest moods

Will be flippant and gay when I say.


Speaks to me with weighty words

Or just laughs with glee

In harmony with my emotion

Swaying ever graciously with me.


Who is my marvelous mistress

That loves and cajoles

With sweet intent only to please

She is the Music of our time!

Music, sweet mistress mine, music so divine.
