The Forever Dance
"i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go . . . "
ee Cummings
Was it love, was it the music?
That simplistic symphony of time
that meshed your arms in mine?
Who would have guessed
two hearts would reveal themselves
in the ego of self-centered undress;
perhaps you were not my dream
and I surely was not your best
but some wild rendezvous of un-imaginings with you
paired us from ourselves of one to two.
Neither months nor years could separate us
emersed in the bond of time standing still
and time seemed never enough with trust
in the sharing of me and you;
for a second's introduction, we danced and soon knew
we were meant to be together
and the mesmerizing dance would be forever as time flew.
Slipping into the sadness of today alone
the days are longer now but no longer touched
by the dance of that me and you, we, mutually owned;
until we meet again then
I'll dream and continue to remember
the November waltzes slipping slowly to December
wishing I could have, I would have, danced with you, forever.
