I Could Be Dancing

Through mind, body and heart
we experience love's journey of pleasure
as we cling unto the ecstasy
in hopes it will last forever.
Yet all around us dwell those who can attest
that love doesn't always last forever
when put to the test.
Yes there are many who desire it all.
While others only use the power of love
to satisfy their selfish call.
For it is not the beauty of love that all require.
Only the lust of the flesh will quench their desire.
Some run in fear when the lady of love whispers
sweet nothings into their ear.
Commitment and forever fit not into the plan.
They only have a desire to romance as many as they can.
And yes love can bring one sadness and sorrow.
But I still believe I could be dancing in love's beauty tomorrow.

Sometimes love fails the tests. That's why I say love's allot of work. We can learn from our mistakes and sometimes we have to sacrifice to love. Love this one.

Thank you Wynter and walker...
Love can become complicated because it takes two to build a relationship and you can only dance your steps...James

I'm impressed with this one, James -- some very heart-felt, poignant observations emoted in a serious tone and message... well done.

And dance you shall!!!!!!! This is a wonderful write and flows with the same promise as your tomorrows are sure to be. I admire your talent and your understanding of some of the most challenging moments of our lives but mostly I do so enjoy the always wonderful cadence and construction of your works. I isn't easy to consistantly pen verse into a smooth read, but you seem to have it mastered. Well done.

It is a scary thing. Especially when you want to dance and most want to sit it out.
I like this verse so much.

James, what a lovely write. I think we must step on a few toes before we get it right.

Yes, the dance is a work of art just as a poem or song or painting and it doesn't make a difference which one paints the mountians or the trees. I wish you a tango.
