Dance the Dance

 

Art Print by Leonid Afremov

I act like I know you, but I don't.

But I don't want to stop, I won't.

Before the game's over

Ask me to come over

It could be right, it could be wrong

Ask me to just come along


I can smell the feelings as you get closer

Running the same lines over and over

Rehearsing your touch on my skin

And your hands that wander through and in


We say we want to take it slow

Clearly headed for a quick show

What's the antidote

To moving too fast our heads afloat


Dance the dance and we'll know

If we'll still be here past the pre-show

You made me believe things could be right

So I dive in head first into this tide

Faithfully Yours

Image
Faithful as a dog with no leash,   Looking for crumbs,   Following the master who once   Generously loved. Foolish as one's first love,   Praying to the heavens above,   Exchanging sanity for a reason,   Any reason to love. Devoted as the moon to earth,   Except she was the sun,   Acting like you hardly knew   She was navigating you. Now you appear,   Whispering regrets in her ear,   All the pain you ignored   When she was faithfully yours.

C'est La Vie

Just write it off as c'est la vie Write off all my pain to ease Silence gets longer Between words that get shorter Did I hear you whisper A wishful thinker I know why it pains to see You write it off as c'est la vie Want you to want me A second longer But I asked for it You need to be stronger So I'll sing the song called c'est la vie Cause I know that's how its going to be Laugh or cry it's the same to me I'll be the one to set me free

Collide

Image
  High notes low notes and the keys in between The melody I played while you weren't here High tides low tides and the adventures in between The distances you swam while I wasn't there Could we ever collide How much longer will we hide Behind the mask of a father,  of a daughter? You didn't stay enough to know You left a hole so deep to grow Two little girls dancing in dresses Filling the hole with guesses It's helpless Could we ever collide How much longer will we hide Behind the mask of a father, of a daughter? -August 16, 2022
