Dance With Me , Sweet Adele
Dance With Me , Sweet Adele
Dance with me , sweet Adele,
where moonlight soaks ancient trees:
For such memory explodes my soul and soothes my spirit,
a date upon magical soil.
You that weave eternal, enchanting dreams,
fear not, my love walks with thee- and
where cool winds reward the gleaming dawn
our souls unite in lavish splendor.
Dance with me , sweet Adele,
upon distant foreign shores
wrap your arms around this aching mind.
Utter those sweet words that forever bind me
unto thy bosom and luscious lips.
My Adele, dance again with me-even if out of pity:
For my loneliness and regret of not holding you more
For my wicked ways, my dark, vain words- and
that Fate has punished me a thousand times more!
Robert J. Lindley,
Note- Began decades ago-finished this morn. Her name was not Adele but
since she was a real person in my life and all my family and hers as well would realize
our hidden romance so many decades ago, I changed the name.
