I have been on a Madrigal kick lately, so here is a jab at writing lyrics for one. I know this kinda stuff doesn't usually end up on this forum, but ah well. I am pretty weird myself. Hope you enjoy it. Maybe someday I'll be talented enought to write the music!

Secret Lover

My husband would be displeased
If he knew the secrets within me.
For I have a secret lover,
And with this song I set him free.

His voice rises and falls,
Caressing my skin gently.
Sometimes his lady calls
And joins our lovemaking.

But I beg you please, dear husband.
Not to take his pleasure from me.
For without his notes, soft and tender,
This wife you know would not be me.

Only when my husband leaves
I call to my secret lover,
In the dark nights privacy,
He meets me there.

I say to him,

“Come to me now, secret lover.
Sing your merry tune, or cry a dirge.
As long as you fill me with this well known ecstasy
I will be your vessel.”

And he plays me,
Like a lute or harp,
And sometimes a horn,
But always makes me feel beautiful.

In quiet secret we know what it is to love each other,
In lust and caring we will brush against one another’s skin.
Your notes are supple and my words so rough,
I fear the truth may banish you from my world.

But when you return my breath catches again.
I know it is true that someday you will leave
For a more sweet tongue to sing your praise
But for now my pleasure is you rest in me.

Like a lover pressing into my body
So music touches my soul.
To laugh and to weep by it would not be a sin
But a pleasure among torments.

Is your secret love(r) music? If so, that's a good work. If not, then it's still a good work, but puzzling.
I do not, however, think it would go with music. It should considered a sonnet. A lovely one, too.

It is music, isn't it? Very well expressed. *thumbs up*
