Oh fiddle-dee-dee!
Oh fortuity!
Come take a chance with me—
on a slippery-dip slide,
down to serendipity,
where happenstance
shakes the dice,
and takes the chance
to dance with me,
romance with me.
I tripped on a maybe; I slipped on a sigh,
did a dance with chance, as it wandered by.
That flipped the switch—in the blink of an eye—
My fortune lit up, streaking across the sky.
Call it a fluke, call it a break.
Call it pure chance, no hands could fake—
When you riled the give-and-take,
you made luck, drive in its stake.
Let fortuity fling! Let serendipity sing,
Let fortune shuffle its luck through everything.
A stumble, a tumble — then you swoop right in!
to play all your cards—go bold, all-in!
So spin the wheel to clack, clack its spark,
let chance light a match to scatter the dark.
Make merry, and rouse the larrikin lark—
to laugh, sing, dance—a fling in the park.
Oh fiddle-dee-dee!
Oh fortuity!
Come take a chance with me—
on a slippery-dip slide,
down to serendipity,
where happenstance
shakes the dice,
and takes the chance
to dance with me,
romance with me.
There’s a fault line everywhere I stand.
When the guards come pull me from the dark.
You sanctify the earth that’s in your mind, I’m not giving up, I know it’s right, you sanctify the colors in my mind.
And I just got this feelin', don't know what it means, so promise as you go, I know that you'll leave.
What if it doesn’t get better with time and I’m still alone?
As I pass on to those white gates, I just couldn’t tell I was living in Hell.
I’m laying motionless.
Where you used to rest your head, lying awake in bed feeling the spot on my chest.
Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction with crime like a substance.
It’s like a light that slowly dies.
Love a vampire.
Put my pain in a pill, I’ll swallow it.
Raise a glass of wine for the last time.
Your blood should run cold, so cold.
And when their bones decay, in dust they’ll float away.
I sleep to hear the lullaby.
Don’t go, please find me in my dreams.
I must be out of my mind, I try to find a purpose in life but I’m better off dead.
Followed your ghost through the moonlight.
You got my little black heart and it’s dying in your hands.
As the whole world burns, it’s so beautiful.
Everything around me’s changed and of course it had to start with losing you.
Was I wrong to put you first?
To compromise has never been a strength of mine.
You can take a chance and let it slip away..
Luce had a million ideas
Her mind ran ahead of her all the time
Capturing things others missed
Putting them into the recesses of
the corners of her dendrite fields
Luce was not afraid to share.
Or take a chance.
She was fearless, showing that being
right was okay, and being wrong was
just another way to figure things out
Another conquest to master.
Luce was not afraid to be wrong.
People did not laugh or make fun of her
when she made a mistake, for they were
in awe at how rapidly her mind processed
and spit out information in surprising
new ways.
Luce was known in her workplace for
her genius, her generosity, and her willingness
to share. She was welcoming and wise, and
it was not long before even the newbies
were in her office, throwing out ideas,
waiting to see what the thought.
The secret of her success? Luce was an idea person.
More importantly she was a great listener.
She encouraged each person she met to tell her their
story. Strangers on the street saw her eyes, and knew.
Waitresses and bus drivers opened up to her like she was their best friend.
There was a magical quality about Luce.
The key to her popularity was that she loved people, and their ideas.

Singapore
Hills stack up on miles passed
Rolling down the mountainside
To take a chance on asphalt limitations
Black as night with traffic moving backwards
Poppies line the road as color globes
Fragrant red heads steadfast on stems
Held together with green and leaves
Cars try hard to hide their misery
Running out of gas before they end
On every hour turning down the day
The earth remains in total darkness
When the sun turns off the light
Setting as if poppies really cared
Covered up in night the flowers rest
Showers try to drown them in their sleep
The sun remains in silence
Rising only when it has too
Birds fly in circles with feathers still intact at morning
With elements of dawn fresh on their breath
It might be time for breakfast
Wondering about a potential food source down below
About those red specks flowing by the road
And listening for signs of traffic
Coming from behind the mountainside on time
You offered me sincere hope
With a longing deep inside my soul
Assuring me that I could cope
With whatever comes you convinced
That I don’t ever need to mope
There is always that second chance
You reminded me that I must have faith
The kind that awakens sweet praise
Promising my heart that it would saith
All that I needed to hear, holding dear
The memories that came like a wraith
Enlightening, inviting, mesmerizing my spirit
You gave me the best of all, your love
With the sincerity of one who knows joy
Incredible elation that comes from above
Shining with shimmering pearls of light
Stunning in ways that I wouldn’t conceive of
Showing my heart that it had been blessed
You extended to me the grace and peace
That only comes with sincere belief
Lingering laughter that would always increase
Comforting my fears, erasing all the tears
Declaring our love, our light, to be a masterpiece
Worthy of every moment we shared our lives
You showed me that this love was a romance
Worthy of our hearts, our souls, our dreams
Love so alive seems to happen at first glance
To those who know that love dances through time
Brings happiness beyond words if you take a chance
And love like this is the last day, last way, last say
You bestowed your affection on my entire life
Granted me acceptance that taught me to care
Taught me that this love would cure all my strife
Penetrate my heart with kindness and inspiration
Feelings that would guide me even in the afterlife
When I know we’ll be together always and forever
You are more than treasured – you are more than unique
You are my heart and soul – you are my love
You are my special dream – the tear caressing my cheek
You are the dance of light that comes from above
Without you, my dear… I can’t imagine how to seek
The joy that comes from knowing you and holding you
You are the love that inspires my soul
Thank you for a love that is always in control!

Through the many changes of life
one goes up but then comes down
so often with no reason or no rhyme
just simply makes you show a frown
To show feelings makes one strange
for you have notions of others thought
thinking they think this of me I'm sure
but all the time I'm wrong a lot
The impression all of us sometimes give
is being cold-hearted lacking real care
not wanting to show how we really are
putting up our guard pointing to the air
But maybe if we dared to be really true
the other person would receive us back
with arms outstretched ready to cuddle
now wouldn't that show we can crack
Sometimes we need to take a chance
you never know what could come about
life could be transformed even overnight
believe? do you now have a doubt?
It was a nice romance, she loved to dance
to the music's beat, but I had two left feet
The circumstance made us take a chance
And we enrolled for ballroom lessons.. (sweet)
I gave it a try and by and by
I began gliding across the floor
My confidence was high
I learnt tango, cha-cha, and many more
We practiced still when we were home
The Christmas Ball was near
These steps we honed for the ballrooms dome
To prepare for this elegant affair
In tux and gown we left the house
To the Ballroom we did go
Where others gathered with their spouse's
To glide to rhythms flow
The Ballroom grandeur was something to behold
With lofty ceilings, and decorations ornate
Perhaps to match the dancing that would unfold
My nervous feet couldn't wait
In rhythmic grooves we made the moves
In motions to and fro
To cha- cha steps, latin flavors flowed
The rumba wooed, as rhapsody behooved
We slid with grace to tangos pace
As I held her close to me
Our hearts raced, our souls embraced
As we became one with the melody
The Ballroom dance was such delight
As we dipped and twirled in movements quick
To trip the light fantastic
A waltz came on, we danced it slow
But it was late and we had to go
But we could have danced all night
A guarded heart, a fortress built so high,
Behind the walls, a hidden tearful sigh.
I see the shadow, the yearning in your eyes,
A truth unspoken, a silent, sweet disguise.
The words you choose, a carefully veiled script,
A smile that falters, a playful, teasing flip.
You jest and laugh, a mask to hide the ache,
The unspoken longing, the words you cannot break.
But whispers dance, on breezes soft and low,
A yearning melody, a story yet to flow.
I sense the weight, the burden that you bear,
The dreams unspoken, the fears you cannot share.
Don't be afraid, to let the barriers fall,
For hearts unguarded, are the strongest after all.
Let vulnerability be your guiding light,
And share your truth, beneath the moonlit night.
A listening ear, a hand outstretched in trust,
A safe embrace, where shadows turn to dust.
I know you're holding back, a treasure yet unseen,
But open up your heart, and let the love convene.
For in that space, where walls begin to bend,
A deeper connection, a friendship that will mend.
So trust the journey, and take a chance to see,
The beauty that is there, when finally you're set free.
Chance
What's the chance of anything changing?
Rearrange it; rediscover how to say it
And maybe we could avoid failing and aging.
Become immortal, or never thought of.
Chuckle, chortle, show the world your prose.
Your vernacular, may sound peculiar,
To those who speak another language;
But these words are yours, the accent your own,
Do not allow your soul to become languid,
By those who only criticize.
Take a chance and maybe you could say something right.
Maybe you could find a love to believe in
And maybe you could learn how to fly.
