Take Me Dancing

                                      Take Me Dancing                               Can we meet at an outside festival                              or at a place that has a dance floor?                           Can we let the drums and music move us                            or have the DJ play our song once more?                                    I don’t wish to walk, talk,                                         nor hold hands.                                          A sister would simply like to dance.                                             Can we wind and grind like we lost our minds?                                           Lose ourselves in the music and … Continue reading Take Me Dancing

Chance Encounter

I see you from a far, I smile. I adjust my head to fall into your chest. A hug so easy and right.  Being this close, I am forced to acknowledge your heartbeat.

It was so full, but it fooled us all. … Continue reading Picking Up The Pieces

Still

You stand still I turn to catch a glimpse Aware of this motionless moment Reality, now seems to be a word I can’t begin to understand Our timing, always off just as I feared; What more is there for us to do? I tell you what I can’t afford. Is another broken heart. Your silence Tells me you recognize the truth. You don’t want to be the cause Of my broken heart. You stand still As if you have no idea What move to make next? I turn to catch a glimpse. you walk away; Finally, Movement. Continue reading Still

You lay on my breast as if safety lies between the right and the left You have laid here long enough; my heart beat can’t save you from this world I hold my breath as you remove yourself; if I don’t let you go; who will… The world is not the same without me knowing your plans I can’t breathe but I know you must go and live but remember to rest when you can and if you need, I will be right here..
