The perfect fifth

The perfect fifth

A Poem by Tony Jordan
"

love is music is love...

"
Do you recall 
the day we
  took it to the bridge;

perfected our harmonies all
dissonance ~ banished 

you straddled me - 
capo style

the air danced to 
arpeggios and crescendos  

before we shared the inevitable 
coda

What was 
will always remain
amidst the reverberations 

endless reflections 
of our 
sweet duet

I'm musing about capo style straddling ... garters by the ankle, below the knee, above the knee, or even higher. Hard to play when it gets too high - fingers trip over themselves, just like ... (I have a song I play on capo 7; nightmare). Tony, I enjoy these analogies. Nice job! Nigel

What a symphony Tony. Beautiful music. As an aside what do you consider the most orgasmic piece of music ever? Second movement Concerto D'Arajuez, Rodrigo is mine.
This is stunning. did I say that?
By the way you are not allowed Ravel's Balero everyone chooses that.
