Let's dance

Let's dance.

Put on your red shoes

 and dance the blues.

Let's dance to the song 

they're playin' on the radio.

Let's sway 

while colour lights up your face.

Let's sway, 

sway through the crowd to an empty space.

If you say run, I'll run with you.

If you say hide, we'll hide.

Because my love for you

would break my heart in two.

If you should fall

into my arms

and tremble like a flower.

Let's dance for fear 

your grace should fall.

Let's dance for fear tonight is all.

Let's sway, you could look into my eyes.

Let's sway under the moonlight, 

this serious moonlight.

If you say run, I'll run with you.

If you say hide, we'll hide.

Because my love for you

Would break my heart in two.

If you should fall

into my arms

and tremble like a flower.

Let's dance, put on your red shoes 

and dance the blues.

Let's dance to the song 

they're playin' on the radio.

Let's sway, you could look into my eyes.

Let's sway under the moonlight, 

this serious moonlight.

Major change

"Things are rarely as bad as they seem at the start of any major change. In any great upheaval there is a lot of emotion, a lot to cope with. But after a time - maybe a year or so, things tend to simmer down and settle - find a new level resting point. Then you can really start to build in a new direction."

Fingers

Dampness seeped into your voice

even though we fell behind

by an hour

and we did not need miniatures

to explain the history

because I can see the dynasty

dissolving, it is blowing away

the scent of ink shading the future

as the current sweeps us

under the carpet

so we stare into the sky

desperately seeking

the moon.

Ode to the moon

A stab of Moon
between two trees

fireflies impersonating
stars

light
tangled in the branches of the night

on the road to the riverside
where did aloneness end
and loneliness begin

Sail

A sea inside, 
an ocean without.

Breasting the waves
of life 
as they break
one by one
upon my shore.

They surge, 
I sail!
