Not My Time To Dance < !signature-->It was late, my eyes prickled with tears My heart into stormy waters again steers All around me are couples dancing close And all I can hear is your hearts last post Your mouth calls urging me to just dance But your eyes tell me it’s our last chance So I lift my face and try hard to hide me Please I softly beg don’t let your heart see The music swirls around filling my ears And your scented skin brings forth tears I wish this dance would carry on forever That you and I could still stay together But I know that I’m wishing for the moon And my heart will be lonely so very soon As your arms hold me close my eyes fill And the tears of my heart run over its sill I lower my head and lay my cheek there The tears flow with this pain I can’t bare Once we leave this dance we’ll then part And the longing for you tears me all apart To have had a love like ours and let it go And hope that my heartbreak doesn’t show I try desperately to stop this river of tears Knowing that this is the why of my fears As the music ends your eyes look at me And these my tearstains are so clear to see Your eyes are puzzled asking me why is this The answer is there held within your kiss Because you were never mine to love at all And the dreams I’ve kept make me a fool Tomorrow is your wedding day it's not mine Your bride is my sister, this isn't my time Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 01-20-2001).] |

'The music swirls around filling my ears And your scented skin brings forth tears I wish this dance would carry on forever That you and I could still stay together' Beautiful write, Marsha. I love it! sp  I won't go; I won't sleep; I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

Kathleen love, thank you and it's a true story too. Still we can't make love go where we want her to can we. Thank you again love Take care Mushy  Seymour, thank you so very much, I do truly appreciate you, I really do. Take care Mushy Sandra love, thank you so much sweetie, and he still has a little piece of my heart to this day. And yes they are still married. It's the code of the sisters, before the relationship became serious, flirting might be allowed, but that depends on circumstances. After that absolutely hands off. Take care love Mushy SP love, thank you so very very much. I reached in and this can out. Obviously when I have time to think some better stuff comes out. Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
