Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Stepping Through Time

I'm a visitor from tomorrow 
    In the realm of yesterday
 Some dance steps I'll borrow
   When the music starts to play

      The band strikes up a tune
  Its rhythm hits the spot
    We glide across the room
  In graceful steps of  the foxtrot

     I gaze into her eyes
  Their fame is set in song
      Her full lips glisten like the dew
   Upon the rose of morn

  Her sense of humor I knew was great,
      I knew about her feud
 and the one she loved to hate,
     But words would not intrude

 We never say a word
     The answers that I seek
 are in her eyes inferred
    And so, we let the music speak
                         -

Pandita Sietesantos January 31, 2017 at 9:04 AM Now this piece really intrigued me all shrouded in mystery. I can't help but ask, is it Bette Davis??? Joseph, you are ever the master poet - reading your pieces are always a learning experience for me! Thank you for the lessons and an enjoyable read, my friend! A-7! Pandita Joseph May January 31, 2017 at 2:22 PM Thank you Pandita...yes it is..

Andrea Dietrich January 26, 2017 at 8:32 PM hmmm, you gave a few clues. Could it be Debbie Reynolds?? Joseph May January 27, 2017 at 3:54 AM Thanks for being the first to venture a guess Andrea...but no it's not...
