DANCING TO FOREVER

Slow music fills the still air...
Your senses absorbed the scent of my hair...
Minds wandered as far as they would dare...
Sure that this would always be there...
Certain it wasn't going anywhere...
Except to better and forever...
Unshakeable no matter the weather...
The magic that would withstand the rain...
The oasis in a desert of pain...
Swaying gently to the sound of the song...
Sure that nothing could go wrong...
Sure that this was strong...
Dancing slowly to the beat...
Until it started to fade...
Sinking slowly like the sun in the horizon...
Fading and fazing and no longer crimson...
You're fumbling and nudging and stumbling...
And when I look into your eyes...
It hits me...
We were dancing to forever...
But you were looking over my shoulder.

DO NOT...

Do not come to me with sweetness and charm and all the nice you can be...
Do not look at me, and paint meadows and streams and the sweetest dreams...
Do not think of me, and anchor your heart and think you will not hurt...
Do not sing to me, when the music still clouds my thought and tempers my soul...
Do not give me your hand, because my heart is held by a single strand...
Take not my sanity away...While you can, pull away..
Let me heal and be still...Let me breathe and dream again...
Do not lead me to sink in seas dark and blue...
Do not lead me to fly then fall...
Do not lead me out and not heed my call...
Do not hold your hand out to me...
Because I will not take it...
For now do not.

SHOULD I

Should I close my eyes and lose myself to the mellow of your voice?
Should I close my eyes and sway to the slow sure rhythm your words create in my heart?

Should I give you that heart? Or perhaps keep wondering, whether there's more to that quiet charm...

Whether there's more to your words than just words...

Or shall we be one, 

Yet two different entities...

Two personas...

Two grains of dust in the whirlwind that is life...

I am fragile as the pale petal on a rose flower...

Yet strong as diamond in a fire...

I wonder, should I dance to your music...

Should I be blown away by this...

This aura you create?
