#waltzing
Meet me in
the morrow
lands as light
entwines and
weaves,
we’ll watch the
bronze sceptre
of the trees.
Take my hand
through autumn;
waltz amongst
the falling
leaves,
dance with me
a while up-
-on the breeze.
Count with me
the steps as
we, dance our
whole lives through …
“One - two - three
Two - two - three
Three - two - three”
… and I’ll fall,
in love with
you.

Dancer
by Michael R. Burch
You will never change;
you range,
investing passion in the night,
waltzing through
a blinding blue,
immaculate and fabled light.
Do not despair
or wonder where
the others of your race have fled.
They left you here
to gin and beer
and won't return till you are bled
of fantasy
and piety,
of brewing passion like champagne,
of storming through
without a clue,
but finding answers fall like rain.
They left.
You laughed,
but now you sigh
for ages,
stages
slipping by.
You pause;
applause
is all you hear.
You dance,
askance,
as drunkards cheer.

white cotton ball clouds
waltzing along deep blue skies-
ill wind steps on toes

There once was a codger from Sydney
who said, 'That bloke stole my sheep, didn' 'e!'
He chased him to Illawong,
pushed him in a billabong,
and stabbed him twelve times in the kidney.

Finally found my way
Rambling down this dusty road
Skipping with your soul

A waltz, I dance, delightful
A second or so in song
A duet, I dance in nightfall
The Music plays on and on...
A smiles grows fast, inching
On careful and gentle mouth
Spin me, turning, falling
Oh, dare I say I laugh!
The memory lasts lifetimes
The moment lived just one
Alone I dance a duet
I Waltz with no one!
Hold me nearer, close
Music in my ears
I remember not how long it lasted
Months, minutes, years!
Listen to the voices playing
A skip in my flighty heart
I can't, I can't, I am unable
To leave, to be apart
I live within and stay
Here for however long
Days may pass by the moon
But the music still plays on!
A dancing hand touches,
Moves like a bird
In flight it bats it's wings
Dancing like spoken word
It casts a shadow on my face
Where hidden answers lie
I dance a duet with none by me
As days and lifes go by
In this moment, an eternity
Somewhere the music plays on,
And I am still dancing, happy

I put all the effort I could,
I scanned all methods over,
But I could not get rid of them,
Your memories in my head,
And the waltzing images.
Images of you hugging me,
Your face cupped in my hands,
Our eyes lost in each others'.

swans and swanettes
all clamoured to dance
with the cygnet's undesirable
admission's prance
they didn't know that this male
was such a bragging exposure
and would strip their secrets
leaving them without composure
a waltzing of blackmail
was called in his revelation
the lovely feathered ones
trust divulged as intimidation
they only saw the charade
of this not so perfect ballroom chap
who'd tell all if they were unwilling
to twirl on his spin's tap
in fear lived the honeys
of his fox trotting troupe
as their private steps
would be made an open coupe
