He asked me to write you a love poem.
She asked me to use musical terms.
Let's build them up, like
major and minor intervals
and see what kind of chord we get.
We'll speak musician-speak
whispering about vivaces and prestissimos
the pianissimo of our voices
making them all wonder.
You are my tetra-chord,
my major triad;
you place that harmonious C
under my nearly discordant
G and B.
Neither sharp nor flat,
yet somehow defying natural,
the theme of a scherzo
and the timbre of a violin.
Hearts at allegro
time at grave
please hold on
like a fortissimo crescendo,
and a fermata without a cut-off.
