A slow dance my love

Just words.

                                  A slow dance

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once sweet baby, we held love so tightly,

you were my everything.

Now we are strangers reaching out for a miracle.

Maybe we need some gin and juice,

some good songs and some forgiveness.

Who was wrong, who was right.

Don't matter sweet baby.

When we speak the goodbye.

Love won't come home no-more.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once we talked, once we knew the sweetness of love,

now we forgot, how I washed your hair and you listened to my stories.

We did the midnight dance when the kids were asleep and

now we are, two people.

Drowning in the want to run and to stay?

Maybe we need some songs and a slow dance.

Maybe we need to figure out,

if love is sweet or if love is a heavy load.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        A slow dance

Just a slow dance, sweet lady,

let's us dig hard and deep,

let's find out if the love is true,

or love is the greatest lie.

Just a slow dance,

you and I.

Last dance, first dance.

Love is balance on sticks and stone.

We can fall or we can hold on tighter.

                             Dancing Coyote

This is simply beautiful. Sometimes words get in the way and a simple touch, embrace can say so much. There is a flood of emotion falling from each and every line. What lovely words you have put together, almost like a song, one that you could easily dance to. Very fine writing my friend.

What a soulful song. I like that you the song carry you through the next chapter and then to possibly the last.

[Coyote Poetry]

The song is outstanding. Good song allowed us who love to write. To create. Thank you Cherrie for reading and the comment.

I found the poem as soulful as the song.

It is a curious thing to see what things spark the imagination. The blending of mood, need, how we receive that spark.
Sometimes I go back at a writing and wonder why I didn't take a different approach. One that seems so plain to me afterwards.
Then I re read and judge what I have and most of the time I let that piece stand as is.

Who knows what feelings that slow dance will evoke. It's not over till the fat lady sings. Romantic. Thoughts.

this reminded me of a slow dance with a very special friend...there was a lot of unspoken communication that dance around the closeness we felt, we shared.

Just that one last dance and maybe there is a miracle when the song has finished. A good poem of longing for a love to turn out right.
More than just words, a good write, John.

Beautiful- if one is truly true to the truth of the heart- the dance will be danced without a thought or a glance but just being allowed to take that chance on love....we need to listen to the truth of our hearts and dance with that tune...🌹
