A symphony of delight


I noticed her
There at the bus stop
So I dared to speak to her

It was so cold
She was wrapped up warm
And happy to talk to me

I asked her out
Jazz club "No", film "Yes"
Held hands in the cinema

She loved music
Sang in a chorus
Got ticket for "Iolanthe"

So I loved her
While tripping hither
Now married with three children

Music was then
The food of sweet love
A symphony of delight

  1. Love the last lines of "music was then the food of love, a symphony of delight." Moving.

  2. This is a nice way of incorporating the theme of love with music. I could picture both the narrator and the girl mentioned dancing in a classical ballroom. Reading your poem was like reciting a scene from a black and white movie. Really neat. :)
