La dernière valse

From the skies
Clouds fall upon my dreams
I am up high, away from it all
I am far, but my tears still fall
I stand up and shout to Paris ( Pareee)
You left me, you left me here to fend alone
I can not danse, nor can I waltz
I am here, overlooking skylines of desire
Graveyards calling out...

The wind carries in your soft loving jasmine scent 

Is it really you or am I just daydreaming once more?

The sun taps me on my pale shaded shoulder

I turn quickly thinking it is you

Asking for one more moment

One last dance

One more chance at romance

One last goodbye

Laughter and joy echoes through my padded castle

I muster up...

Slow and drowsy
Throughout the garden
From one scent to another
Fluttering here and there

Dizzy and groggy
Haphazardly
They stumble 
Barely bumbling

They dance with feeble wings
They flit and hover
The way they palpitate
Buzzing in the cool autumn air

Taste testing late bloomers
Under that late September sun 
They perform most graciously
Their final waltz of the year

leaf---listless lifeless
  waltz within wanton winds....
  autumn’s abjectness

I will inform you once the shells are spoor.
When they're timorous around the seashore,
Just as mushrooms will grow around a grave,
If they shine like slight candles in a cave.

So, you and I will devour the beach dunes.
While a pearly moon sails the ocean tunes,
Listening to the meek growl of the waves,
Because of the eyesore, the...

The cowboy took her in his arms
and waltzed her round the floor.
He told her how much he loved her
how he couldn't love her more.

From the moment he first saw her
when he'd held her in his arms,
he'd vowed to keep her safe
from any kind of harm.

They talked about the days just past
when she had climbed up...

** In This Last Waltz **

I am swirling around thoughts,
Swirling even ‘tween ‘em , too — stepping forward —
Getting ready for this nght’s joys to end , and 
See The Last Waltz come up on my dance card.

I’m twirling thru wonderings 
— Biding my time hopping with the rocket man —
As my mind goes wandering,
Considering...

Oh, how I long to drift to my death

Never again draw a CO2 breath

Each of us twirl in a dance all our own



Loosed by the mistrals and heaven-blown

All of our lives we provision The One

Synthesize O2 and light from the sun

Tasting sweet rain whene'er the clouds burst



Wetting our folds for its deep-rooted thirst

And now in...

I love you, it’s true
Even though I can’t tell you
For reasons unbeknown to me
The whole world would agree
I love you.
Why do you push me away?
Choosing others before me, as I stand in the doorway
Waiting for my turn
But then once again you adjourn
Again, same old discussions about us
As if waiting to catch the same old bus
Do...

her dream helpers gone
          spirits her waving goodbye
          sleepless nights adieu

LAST WALTZ

Sixty years since the day that we married;
When we danced that first dance as man and wife.
Sixty years since the moment I carried
You over the threshold to start our new life.
Through thick and thin times, through good and the bad.
For richer for poorer, sickness and health
Bound throughout life by the love that we had.
No...

She lays in her death bed
As tears fill her eyes
Stricken with cancer
She's now paralyzed

She asks for her husband
To sit by her side
He kneels down to comfort
His bedridden bride

She says she'd give anything
Just to have one more chance
To know what it feels like 
To dance

He turns on the raido
And takes her by the hand
He holds her...

Wizen flowers lost
it's not the waltz of  flowers
sounds the farewell waltz...

dancing
        so close,
a loving
          caress,
the whisper
       in the ear..
look 
in the eye:
the tender
     touch
on the cheek
with a sensuous
kiss...as...
