Perchance To Dance
~*Marge Tindal*~

A dance
perchance
to catch a glance
of the evening skies
Held in the wonder
of your arms
gazing into your eyes
I gather you close to me
with song sung serenade
The melody begins
my heart you've played
Held in tender caress
your body close to mine
No need for stars in the sky
for our hearts to entwine
Take this love I offer you
hold me through the night
I will be here for you
when dawn finds it's light
Through the meadow
we will scamper
like butterflies at play
Take my heart, filled with song
let's love the day away
When evening shadows
again come into play
Singing songs of serenade
we'll dance across
the star-filled Milky Way

This really took my breath away....what a beautiful picture you paint with your words.
You are an artist with words, Marge!

Love and hugs,

Hi Marge
You've again struck a chord between dream and reality...a dance across the milkyway..a tender lover you're....good imagination shown throughout.

DarkAngel~
Thanks, sweetie !

Lil' Lizzie~
I'm glad you like it, hun.
It was one of those 'sing-songy' ones
that just wanted to be written.

Marge, I'll have to let the words of an old JM song echo my sentiments on this one....

I won't dance - Don't ask me
I won't dance - Don't ask me
I won't dance
Madam, with you.

My heart won't let my feet
Do what they should do.

You're so thrilling
Oh, so thrilling
And, oh, what you do to me..
I'm like an ocean wave
That's tossed on the shore.
I get so absolutely stumped on the floor.

When you dance
You're charming and you're gentle
'Specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
'Cause - heaven rest us -
I'm not asbestos
So.....
I won't dance - Don't ask me
I won't dance - Don't ask me
I won't dance -
Merci Boquet.
I know that music is the way to romance
But, when I hold you in my arms,
I won't dance.

Brian~
Thanks for the lovely comments.
I did teach roller-dance for years.
Nothing like waltzing across the dance
floor of your heart.

Nando~
Awwwwww !

dancing with your heart !

Eloise~
Thank you, hon.

SpitFire~
Well, go ahead and sing it while you're dancing.

~Oh Marge,...I said that all wrong. .  What I was Trrryyyying to say was that you and your work leave me speachless.  But, just to let you know,..your poems DO make me sing and dance with delight.  You know I love all you do. Take care,...and please excuse this sleep deprived and weary head of mine.  . *Peace.
