Twice, I would have loved to dance...

Music leaps from open windows,
gliding down steamy summer rays.

You had your arm around her

I can sing a song happy days

I can dance in different ways,

I can write a thousand words

I can shout, so as to be heard,

I can trip the light fantastic

And write a poem that's ekphrasis,

Billowing tufts of blue and green
create my peaceful place.
I think my heart has seldom seen
such happiness and grace.

The sky's lit with an amber hue
that guides me on my way.

Getting along together
Dancing that same old dance
But you’ve forgotten the steps
So now what
Is this my new lot
You have changed
And I changed to be content 
with you
Working the dynamic 
Keeping up the merriment 
Breaking in the...
