"Come, my love," he told me,
"Let's play the piano and dance."

He extended his hand,
And led me softly to the keys.
We sat together side by side.
Fingers intertwined as we played
Our love song.

The music swirled
Soft, sweet, romantic—
A melody that's shared only by our hearts.
Our toes tapped out the beat.
And then he stood up, dancing in the rhythm.

"Follow me, my darling," he grinned,
"Dance with your beloved."

I took his hand.
We danced there in the room.
Weightless, breathless—
Like walking on cloud nine. Our living room turned into a dance hall,

And the moon, our secret witness.

"Dance with me until the dawn breaks," he whispered,

As the room was filled to overflowing with laughter and love, While the piano kept playing.. "Mommy," tugged a little boy on his mother's coat, "Why is that woman playing piano and dancing in the river?"

"Id die for my family"
however, unlike you, they dont want you to die
your son wants you to quit smoking
and your partner wants you to stop hurting yourself
your young daughter wants you to hug her
and your mom wants you to quit your bad habits
You're willing to die for them
But would you change for them?

In the midst
of a morning walk
I followed a trail
of purple
flowers
fallen
and ripe
that led me to
the mother tree
who has grown
heavy
with too much
beauty to carry
