I'LL KEEP ON DANCING

 

I’LL KEEP ON DANCING

It takes a lot to keep on pushing through

This world that needs a lot of love

But I’ll keep on dancing

This won’t stop

The rise and fall

Of this dance

Bending and stretching

Twisting, turning and twirling

I’ll never stop dancing

Bringing you out of the darkness

Bringing you out of the starkness

The people that have dragged you down

Bringing on your frown

I’ll keep on dancing for you

And not just the few

Bringing the sweet, sweet love to you

Warming you sweet heart

That has been torn apart

So I’ll keep on dancing

Where there is no rhyme or reason

It remains neutral, neutralised

Where there are no barriers

This loving is built to last

Through all the rises and dives

So for you my sweet, sweet angel

I’ll keep on dancing

Through all the years and years

Yes this is our lucky year

I can feel it, see it

So my sweet honey

Come and sail away with me

Come and dance with me

We can taste the victories

Make our own histories

Memories

Take my hand with yours

Hand in hand

What will be will be

My heart is now in your hand

I’ll keep on dancing with you

I’ll keep on dancing for you

Sail away to distant shores

We’ll stay to the barriers

Holding, holding on so tight

Where it is so, so safe

And we’ll say goodbye, goodbye

Dancing so high

Through the wind and rain

Running down the window pane

Every time we’ll feel ten feet tall

Through the seasons and the fall

Where no one will put us down

All the heads are turning

We sing, we sing

Right out loud

Even the though the wind is blowing

Loving being close to you

We’ll get through the worst

We’ll keep on dancing

We’ll keep on and on glancing

At each other

Never letting others be a bother

You go straight to my soul when you dance

My soul that was once nothing but a glance

Meaningless

So I’ll keep on dancing forever and ever

Just for you!

CALLING TO THE FAMILY

 

CALLING TO THE FAMILY

Way beyond the sky

And the mountains tops

Echoes of haunting sounds

The lonesome sound of a wolfs call to his family

Kith and kin way up in the mountains and beyond

The land below with an eerie mist that covers the slopes

Rising, rising up and up above the trees

Where kith and kin could be concealed

Avoiding the quagmire

Swamp, slush, sludge that lies below

The lonesome wolf

Stands by the ancient

Native of these lands

Campfire burning

Warming

Lighting

The night

Calling on his ancient instrument

To the spirits of this open land

Way beyond the mountains

Tree tops

This is not

And never was

A

No man’s land

This land is filled with

Secrets to be unfolded

Retold

To young and old

Wisdom of

The elders

Scattered near and far

Who once roamed?

 This

Ancient, ancient land

Let this be a moment

In this time

Hold what is

And what once was

A very spiritual land

Where all lived as one

SHROUDED (NEW POEM)

 

SHROUDED

She’s cloaked in red

She’s covered in red

Her veil being her mystery

In an air of mystery

Remaining anonymous

Unidentified

Enigmatic

Secretive in the air of her

Grace and elegance

Red for passion

Fiery

Blistering heat

So fierce that it can scorch you

Sizzling, sizzling

Be careful of the blistering

Blazing, intensity

That she exudes

Emanating

From her body

Her soul

Her mind

Keep an eye on those eyes

Piercing

Cutting right through you

Intensifying

Deeper, deeper and deeper

Penetrating right at your core

Powerful

Forceful

There will be no mistaking

Or exaggerating

Dare to look?

Or dare to look away?

Either way

She will get to you
