Dear lady, could I have this dance?
It’s a lovely night
The DJ’s great
and the stars are bright
We could begin
Slowly at first, steadily
A gentle shuffle
To get our bearings right
Heavier then, headily
Our bodies in motion
Our souls entwined
Faster then, madly
Two hearts as one
A staccato, hard to define
Lastly, then sadly
Into that secret place
That only lovers find
Dance with me, darling
Dance with me to the food of love,
Dance me to the end of love.
Where I hope that you will break me
Burn me, shake me, unmake me
And send me reeling into the other’s arms
For it may be you that I want
But it is her that I need
And that which she brings;
for that I shall bleed.
You see -
Only through a broken heart
Can I bleed words onto paper
Or cover a canvas in color.
So, dear lady, could I have this dance?
A brief insight into the only times i can seem to write.
