her dream helpers gone
          spirits her waving goodbye

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...
     romance..
each would
           seek...

“I’ve come to the very end of myself,”
the day cried out to the night

“My expiration date lined in blood,
tomorrow less than bright

“My beginning and ending dancing a last waltz,
destiny writing the score

“My wick has burned down, the music has stopped
—too late to ask for more”

(The New Room: February, 2021)...

Heaven 
awaits til our
last waltz amongst the wind,
mimicking that of yesterdays...(Sigh)
Nature applauds as we continue in
harmony; never ceasing til
the last tear. Dust we form...
transcending to
Heaven

I hold my guitar
Like a long lost lover
I play her strings
As she weeps within my arms
For loves long gone
We are united in song
And heart breaks gone wrong
As I pluck the music in the air
She reminds me, love is never fair
And now the strings have broken
All that could have been, flowing in the wind

The concert has ended
The last waltz
The last full moon
My guitar sleeps forever...

there was once a girl named Claire
host waltz on tv as dare 
she was founded by fox 
lots watch the game on box 
now she's just prancing on-air


This Limerick is about the year 1976 rendition of the last waltz film featuring concert performances.

Smiling the same smile
Making the same mistakes
Walking the same path
Singing the same songs

Dreaming the same dreams
Loving the same girl
Breathing the same air
Righting the same wrongs

Signing the last truce
Reaching the last fork
Holding the last hand
Casting the last line

Waltzing the last waltz 
Humming the last tune
Paying the last bill
—rhyming the last rhyme

(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)...

let's go on the hill
and let the dying sunbeams
drift away our sorrows
let's go to the river
and drown our wet eyes

winds change our thinking
in a beautiful silence
and transform our greyness
in a solid domed frame

let's go to the fields
and dance the last waltz
in fight of misunderstanding
let's go to the valley
to search the untitled legends

suffering and cyclone
rage beyond the secret sea
right inside of a doubtful man
and the dialogues are gone...

Listen to poem:

I thought I’d touched the finish line
but I was just around a bend

I thought I’d kissed the world goodbye
but it was not the end

I thought I’d whispered my last song
but I still had a few more in my repertoire

I thought I’d danced my last waltz
but still the music carried on

I thought I’d written my last poem
but my muse had one more rant

I thought I’d painted my last canvas
but I had it in me for one more chant
