For In Vienna We Were Poetry
I’D VIE FOR VIENNA
I’ve visited Vienna because the universe urged me to go
and on the subject of Vienna I have all I need to know
I know the city sings and writes poetry for all to read
And were I to dance with Vienna I’d let it lead
From a small café I idolized what my eyes espied
And the beauty of Vienna will never be defied
Vienna is the sound of violins and the aroma of violets grown
And owns a beauty such as I’ve never known
I strolled the streets of Vienna in awe of its grace
Vienna’s streets seem to be formed by lavender and lace
It’s akin to a purple and violet sky to behold
And it’s shimmer is more alluring than gold
Vienna sweetens the sour and acrid taste of phools
It takes them and teaches love’s true rules
Vienna has the power to make a rose bloom in the snow
And nothing compares to Vienna is all I know
So if you ever go to Vienna please appreciate it like me
Because I’ll never have the qualities that you will see
In Vienna I heard poetry with its lilting simplicity
And had I never visited Vienna would have been a true and utter pity
I thank invisible beauty for her kindness
And her consisten encouragement!
