A Step Of It

I liked it much better
when I listened to
your love songs
but the only tune
I hear now is the blues
I remember a time when
you left me breathless
before we ever
touched the dance floor
and maybe
those were the pink days
where I still had something
worth dreaming about
when I close my eyes now
I can still feel you
as you took off my shoes
and rubbed my feet
before the music started
laughing saying that
you couldn't dance but
this night could be pink
and if you did this now
I wouldn’t miss
a step of it
but the blues play on

A good poem shows you; an excellent poem takes you there and makes you part of it.

Hope I didn't step on your foot.....
