Poems
Jul 2015
Dance with me
spindly limbs, midnight hair
little girl, sitting on the steps
disappointed, what's wrong with me?
Daddy, dance with me
far from your strong arms,
my heart dances with danger
those boys aren't men
Daddy, fight for me
take me back
love me, though I'm broken
I can be whole in your arms
Daddy, tell me I'm yours
wandering, running
finding an identity
a nomad for love
Daddy, teach me how
day dressed in white
he takes her wedded hand
light falls on their shoulders
Daughter, will you dance with me?
He wraps her as his
for the last time;
redemptive dance
Daddy, now I'm his
What else did you miss?
to my dad, KTB,
