How I Loved Your Laugh

We danced around a candle lit room,
The wick burning low,
We whispered softly - you held me close,
The music of the night was enough for you, 
To twirl me around in the shinning moon,
My eyes alight in wonder and love. 

Your shoes tapped quietly on the floor,
My slippers hushed across the room, 
As we stepped and side stepped and stepped again,
You made me laugh and I filled with light inside, 
You stood tall, your demeanor filled with pride,
Oh Cassius won't you let me stay by your side. 

The wolves howled and in joined the dogs,
The fort was cold within stone walls,
And fire burning, its light grew low,
Your whiskey in the light seemed to glow, 
And I dared a sip from your glass,
I made a face, Oh Cassius how I loved your laugh.

Justin Bordner June 9, 2014 at 1:26 AM The world was cruel today, and my night at work long, reading this charm put a gentle song in my heart, moistened my eyes with memory of where I once belonged. To be at your side, a warmth where smiles reside. This is poetry with a beautiful embrace brought forth with a loving face. Love how you make rustic, old world scenes feel forever new. Thank you Jay.
