her single shot pistol is smoking as you walk in
her blushing bride smile is a dead give away
that something is amiss
he left a ballroom waltz
worth of footprints all over her smile

she persuades you to rent a buick '
and take the pursuit on the road
so the three of us head south on the us-1
to some strange beachside town
where all the girls are bubble gum machines
and the boys are paint by number boxing fans
but we finally catch the thin fatman
sitting on a beach-chair
sipping tea
and lookie-louing yachts from nantucket

she kisses and makes up with him
and you know that your romantic days are over
and she gives no reason but she got a soft spot
for his three piece suit lifestyle
brooks brothers got nothing on him
he gets his threads form the five and dime
pockets full of pickles
bread in his thinning hair
.

The only game in town that is real


She walks with me

//

The children dance in the sun


//

We made a promise


The final vision


Humanity

I'm done dancing to the tune
of others' music.
Now is the breaking of a new dawn to turning on
the stereo in my heart
and keep dancing like no one's watching!!!
Still on the matter>> Happy New Year. Play the music in your heart, be careless about your steps, shake your waist, take it down- yeah,  you've got the moves.....we all do!

Blank spaces and dots protracted
Bouncing in spirals like squirrels
Quarrelling my melted brain cells
If you make a move...
You're left with nothing.

If you don't make a move...
You're left with nothing.

So in the end,
You'll have more than you ever had before.
Found some old poems that were on my previous Hello Poetry account. Made me really happy.
