Music of the Night

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Free verse
We were listening
To a CD with
Susan Boyle and a baritone Guy.
Interesting?
Some middle aged Scottish woman.
A spinster of years.
Singing of Love Indescribable
Almost prohibited .
A Phantom of the Opera, distorted.
A beautiful woman beyond reach.
Might they come together?
In music of the Night?
