The Band Plays, Waltzing Bella

Where am I?
On the other side of the loop
How did I get here?
You ran for your life
Did I save my life?
Only for a life time

What if I never trusted?
The way that the colours contrive and conspire never cease to amaze
I was told once that life lies, in between sanity and irrationality
I know that cicadas will sing

My hips will get you, get you,
get you when the lights are dim and the band stops playing

Get you.

lost, in dances

Let go
release reverberates across expansive
fields, fresh with violets
draw deep and true
petals colour rainbows a single hue
for me

Refresh
soothing water of melting white
peaks, torrents from tumbling
pools of solemn dreamy
eyes, pure drowning love
is rare

Lunar
days mixed with dew
private to longer mornings
bliss taken, bliss missed
golden known nightly ships
pass by

Take flight
wings carry destined
flesh, your heart’s gravity draws
mine, belong to aching
desire, once of life this
time

Swim
in liquid gems, pools
where rubys green
and emeralds red, as
jealous blood flows and
binds us

Take this
my word, kissing your blind
folded eyes, trusting deep
flaming ideals of chance
we dare, a life of being lost
in dances
