"oldies"


I held you last night
kissing as we danced
to oldies and candlelight

As my heart beat close to yours
the way the sea confirms her shores

I felt the strength you’ve given me
devotion  faith  fidelity

Our time flowed in your eyes
the smiles  the sins  the tears
the sighs

The love we made has all but grown
and strives to make a love their own

There are some things I’d rearrange
should God give me the chance again

But not a minute would I change
of time with you to grow the same

If I were monarch proud and great
with power and fortune to advance
I could not find a better mate
than one the Lord
gave me by chance

And so we danced

Wonderful! I loved this coyote! Wow!
This really hit home with me.
Oh, and I love your quote....hehe

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I am glad you are happy. I, too, share this happiness with my mate, but, I don't dance.

Thank you so much for reading.

Dancing with your love. Wonderful poem. Even now we too still dance to the 'oldies'. You are so very blessed.

How can you save me?
When the dark comes right in and takes me,
from my front walk and into bed,
where it kisses my face and eats my head. Shivaree
