Dance

the music plays
a slow, haunting number
you hold me tight
and we dance
barely moving
feeling the notes
feeling the lyrics
feeling the moment
caught in time
before the song changes
and someone cuts in
never finishing
the dance we started

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to, you would cry too, if it happen to you. Your poem made me think of that song. Just reminiscing, forgive me!Lol! Sincerely Moses
