Waltz of Love

Waltz of Love

Its all in my heart
great place
to start

I first saw your eyes
they were
the prize

Then found your sweet smile
it charmed
me while

The ballroom was ours
we were
the stars

I held you so tight
throughout
the night

We found love so true
and then
it grew

And our love goes on
no end drawn
it’s our endless waltz love song

——

Based on the meter of The Blue Danube Waltz by Johan Strauss II, which to me is a 5-2-2 beat with 5-3-7 ending flourish.

Linked to dVerse Poets Pub — Meet the bar waltzing where Björn wants us to focus on the beat of the waltz and to let the dance be our poem.

    Methinks your wife is a very lucky woman….and methinks you’re a pretty darned lucky guy too!

    1. The music came to me first, then I started writing words that fit. I originally had one more stanza, but when reading it back, I kept wanting to go into the crescendo flourish ending a stanza too soon. So, I eliminated one by combining/collapsing two thoughts into one stanza.
