Because They Were Beautiful

We used to make up madrigals

Just because they were beautiful

Not caring that they were passè

I remember your mouth opened into a perfect O

Singing "fa, la, la"

I longed to kiss you so much

But I couldn't commit that heresy

Because your voice made the nightingale

Sound like Bob Dylan

And your face was so serene

That a sunset

Looked like a massacre

In comparison

Excellent! Your use of metaphor is brilliant!
