THE DANCE

You work so hard
to woo me

Once I surrender
you become less tender

Your fingers forget
my number

Contacting me encumbers
you

It's a dance that needs
to come to an end

So I can begin
my new life

No longer a wife
I need a new man

To hold my hand
and lay next to me in my bed

Bodies warm with slumber
both of us under

Each others spell

WALK ON

Some moments are best left in the past
to be remembered when in a melancholy mood

Finding the beauty in those moments
focusing on the plus not the minus
adds up to wonderful memories

DATING

Dating is like
walking into a dark room
hoping you find the light switch

Blind dating is like
being spun around ten times
then walking into a dark room
hoping you find the light switch

JUMP IN

I take a big breath

should I just jump in?

The water might be cold

it may pull me under

If I don’t try I will never know

can I swim or will I drown

I’ve been here before

got my feet wet

Then I shook my head

and ran

It was too scary

too final

Sometimes it feels safer

not to know

But then the curiosity 

weights down my heart

So here I go

going to jump in

This time...
with both feet.

Deep Shades of You

If I could color my world
it would have deep shades of you

Filled with yellow sunshine
and soft blue water

It would have gentle pinks
rosy and sweet

If I could color my world
I would paint free handed

Allowing me to choose the lines
the painting follows

Avoid blacks and browns
they bring frowns

Light and lovely my world would be
lying next to you

In a pool of tender hue.
