white curtains bellow from an open window
akin to a scene from a slow movie,
the villain has the hero cornered
who manages to escape out a window,
when the bad guy kicks the door
the drapes move wildly
the low streams of Brahms' cello
along with the wind whistling noisily
calms the atmosphere down to a reverie
while the veil ripples gently.

Nice imagery, and nice transition from an everyday ordinary thing into linking it with a dramatic Hollywood scene. Very creative! The use of Brahm's Cello to complete the link was the clincher. Nicely done.
If only real life were this picturesque... *sigh*
i love the introduction of brahms' cello. nice dramatic twist.
You can always come up with that little piece of magic in your writings.
I've always thought my life needed a soundtrack, I'm just afraid I wouldn't be allowed to choose it myself. :) Very nice poem.
Lovely. Simply lovely.
This seems a little different than your other work (at least what I've read of it). This is more narrative.
I, too, like the introduction of the cello.
soo detailed,i wish the story would go on and on. i was already captured me with the introduction.
The auditory works in well with this.
For some reason this made me think of directions in a screenplay.
as always, your poem enlightens so beautifully. :)
I like curtain and cello images a lot. Well done.
It's kinda of like one of those movie preludes where you see something bad happen, then the movie picks up before that time. Nicely done!
The opening image is nicely developed.
