Three-Fourths time

Couldn't be

diviner

A mad dance

D minor

A dark waltz

my head spins

circling

violins

so sadly

spinning round

Gradually

take me down

Speeding up

swirling sound

the scales play

in it bound

Let me go

Fly away

Like the notes

I can't stay

Oh love me

just today

I won't come

back this way

Author's Note

A waltz being in ¾ time each syllable in a line is a beat, three beats to a line.

Let me immerse myself in your music...let me dance til I fall; even if the music stops, please let me stay just this once, because I'll never be back. I like the structure of this poem as you described, very clever...
Reminds me of my old piano lessons....
Warmly, B.
