Dance

My brother got the brains
my sister got them too
so I decided
I would learn to dance
and I haven’t stopped
ever,

Time

God
if there was ever a time
it’s now.

Son

You are a heartbeat away
from being free
your mind already at the border
go for it
do not look back
I am here , on the sideline
willing you on!

Meet

Meet me at the bar
next door
the neighbours are tired
of hearing us roar.

Depth

I wanted to write
just
one word
for you
I thought
that might
prove
the depth of
my love
but
I can’t .

Take

Take my toxic words
and turn them
into wine.

Hanging

I think our love
a little bit saggy now
no dancing beneath the stars
no hanging in late night bars
more sunrise
than sunset
but still
I’m hanging with
you!
