Mezzo-piano was the dynamic of her voice

As she stepped toward me with a tempo adagio slow

Of all of the records, she was my song of choice

For her lyrics I’d memorize; each stanza I’d know

 

My hands stretched in front of me and pulled her in at her hips

I could read the music notes that were tattooed on her lips

Left and right we swayed, under the twilight moon

Twirling on the sidewalks of a newborn June

 

Her cobalt eyes were trumpets, quietly playing the blues

While her heart was a string bass, keeping align with the beat

I listened to the melody of the instruments she would use

As she recites her cadenza with the swing of her feet

 

We synchronized our symphonies, allowing a harmony to blend

Whilst I wished for a thousand encores: a night that would never end

Captivated by the ensemble of her orchestral measure

I realized in that moment I had found a musical treasure
