The waltz now softly has begun as we step to the floor As passages of music melt… silently into the night I took your hand and watched you glide on billowy wafts of air That moved beneath my hands… that guide you on your way I see the words as they are tapped against your mind— I took the lead to simply show you how the journey runs And wait to watch the rivulets of thought meander from your care To cascade down the choreography of your enlightened eye Creating delightful debutantes of design as stutter steps of dance routines Promenade their pulse of purity clean in ever-visional dreams Marking the meticulous path of sophistication (if you dare) The secrets of the written word as it passes to your domain So take the lead and see the steps you take As sobriquets for sophistry as you unveil your taste. |

Very nice. Kinda reminded me of Slyvia Plath somehow, and this is a very good thing. Much enjoyed! "I'm the soul drifter, and I'm out of this town, ain't no use hangin' round, you see" -- Lindsey Buckingham, 'Soul Drifter' |

Creating delightful debutantes of design as stutter steps of dance routines Promenade their pulse of purity clean in ever-visional dreams Great Lines, Nice write.. |
