Deceptive Cadence (A Poem)

Deceptive Cadence

I've come to entrench my life in a minor key 

though I wish I could transform into a major

When you touch me I become a major 7th

when we fight I revert to a simple 5th 

You confuse me like a beautiful minor 9th

and you excite me as if you where a minor 7th

When you look at me I become a 7th sharp 9

I can't help but feel forgotten like a power 6th

I know we can have our moments of dissonance

In the end though I can only remember the harmony 

So please lets enjoy and listen to all the dynamics 

Lets end this night with a mild and tasteful crescendo 

I want to be with you when our cadence is finally played

I am both sad and happy that our lives rejected legato 

I do find that we always seemed to enjoy a good reprise 

I want you to remember though that you are my cavatina 

You make up the triad of my life and the chord in my heart

You made my soul capriccio and my heart to accelerando 

You made my eyes see that the world is stunningly atonal 

I want us to adagio our lives till our last note rings pianissimo

You will always be my major key, and I your minor retreat

Ill always be you accompaniment as you are my soloist 

Those who know will vouch that our love was never a drone

Lets hold hands and enjoy, our lives final and lovely coda
