Dancing Dependence

Her affections charm me like nothing else, 
Captivating kindness clutches my heart with care. 
Standing at the headland, her head rests, before we head home.
 I’m the head of the outing, though soon, heading from home,
 But she’s headstrong and she won’t be alone x

I’m living brightly, daily and nightly; Everything stays 
Right where you left it. As I wait 
Until I see you again. 

And then, when I do 
First our skin touches 
My blood seized from my sway- 
Slowly at first, I toppled over 
Spinning as my mind keeps chasing her way. 

Breathing in her laughter, 
The curve of her soft hand, 
Warmth from her heals me, 
I'd give her anything I can. 
She’s my calm and the light I see through; 
Wherever I stand, she always can view- 
Up in my bridge, my only virtue. 

Guessing whether you ever wonder: 
Will glass balls always be filled daily and 
(To)nightly with the beautiful moon
