so we danced for awhile
and we danced real close
the lyrics blue
the tempo slow
you held me tight
whispered in my ear
just for one night
the meaning clear
so we danced for awhile
and we danced real slow
that song has ended
that one night gone

where secrets roam
that hidden part
that mirrors my own
a slice of pleasure
a dance of desire
it's you and me baby
an infernal fire

lessons
you taught me things
the lessons I learned well
it's not that I'm not smart
you know I'm quick as hell
an enigma to my friends
at most things I excel
you taught me how to smile
at the silliest things
to enjoy a smooth latte
it's a Starbucks thing
and to enjoy a love
the kind that your heart brings
you taught me how to dance
as time moved too fast
I knew you were here for now
not how long we could last
when the dance was over
is when you turned your back
the lesson I learned best
was learned after you were gone
no longer hearing you sing
any of my favorite songs
the breaking of my heart
that just keeps stretching on

I dreamed you were here

we sat on my terrace
sipping wine under the stars
the full moon bathing
us in lunar light
I dreamed you were here
singing me a love song
as we danced, locked
together,
barely moving
to the song you sang
I dreamed you were here
holding me close
under Egyptian sheets
your whispered words
surrounding me with love
morning dawns, the dream fades
as I stretch and turn
reaching out for you
finding you weren't there

dance with me
put on your boots
and I'll don mine
let's go some place
where the music's fine
all the others
are forming a line
dance with me baby
one more time
let's dance real late
into another night
till the moon disappears
and it becomes light
hold me close
hold me tight
dance with me baby
one more time

gone before dawn
bits and pieces of us
scattered in the wind
but one thing is true
always about you
I loved you then and now
yesterday's dance,
one more chance
embracing fire and passion
the music ends
before it begins,
still
I loved you then
I love you now

let go

to make me complete
read all the books, not about me
I'm smart enough to know
about the heart I can't hold
and the hand that has been let go
it wasn't out of need but my heart's want
about whispered words and a slow dance begun
unfinished lyrics once left unsung
under a moon I thought you'd hung
the moon has a way of slipping behind clouds
cool mountain breezes, that mock me now
stars gazed upon don't shine near as bright
memory haunts dreams, and come every night
when the dawn bleeds in red...
I write from my thoughts
putting it down, so I won't forget
an unpainted portrait without a regret
how long does it take to forget this love?
to put it aside and memory thereof
I can put it in prose, lyric and haiku
make it come out, the way I want it to
it wasn't out of need but my heart's want
about whispered words and a slow dance begun
unfinished lyrics once left unsung
under a moon I thought you'd hung

electric slide
Between Heaven and Earth
on a wooden floor doin the electric slide
givin all we're worth
steel guitars
and a longneck night
boots slide smoothly
or tap in time
cowgirls moving
quickly in line
dancing late
in the moon's light
cowboy up
for one last time

still believing in me and you
I believe in these dreams of mine
and will for quite some time
I believe that you'll still sing
I believe that we'll still dance
I'm keeping my faith in love
I'm keeping my faith in you
I believe that as long as this fire
is raging down deep inside
that if I believe it long enough
you will keep it ignited

do we know each other?"
this time, let's go slower
"yes, we've met before,
but it was a while ago"
can history repeat?
can it be any sweeter?
than the time before...
"they are playing our song
would you like to dance?"
this I remember well!

Cowboy
I’m lookin' for a cowboy
Poetry by M.J.B. is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.
With, boots, hat and a horse
The kind that doesn’t line dance
Do real cowboys do that?
Tall and lean and muscular
From ridin' the range all day
Ropin', brandin', workin' hard
Always fences to mend
Yeah, there’s something about a cowboy
And romancin' under the moon
He can sweep me off my feet
Or maybe use a lasso
We’ll get in his pickup
Or maybe we can ride double
I can ride in front of him
So he can keep me from fallin’
At the end of a long hard day
His boots tucked under my bed
He’ll fulfill my fantasies
Just please don’t call me ma’am!

I'm dancing to a tune
I can dance all by myself
or I can dance with you
once I wrote a love song
from feelings that you knew
I can sing it to myself
or I can sing it to you

there'd be one last dance
slow and sensual
like it was in the past
but the music changes
and you're not in the mood
I will never have
that last dance with you

to the piper's tune
I want to love you
under a crescent moon
you started a fire
I still feel the heat
and what it brought
was what I needed
so dance with me baby
to the piper's tune
hold me tight,
one more night
under a crescent moon

love
on a lazy Sunday
with not much to do
played a couple of games
now that is all through
you put on some music
and I grab your hand
fast or slow tempo
we begin to dance
turn the lights down
while you hold me close
moving to the rhythm
of the songs we love
you start to whisper
sweet things in my ear
drowns out the lyrics but
it's what I want to hear
a lazy afternoon
is meant just for this
dancing close to you
and your amorous kiss
the music still plays
but the dancing is through
and in the dim light
I'm loving you

dancing with you
baby would you take me dancing,
just like we used to do
let's not stay home this evening
let's go and have some fun
I'll put on my little black dress
the one you really like
let's go find some music
and dance late into night
it has been such a long time
since you've spun me around
baby will you take me dancing?
I do love dancing with you

fields of clover
you saddled the moon
so we could ride
in fields of clover
and crimson tides
you played the chords
so we could dance
close together
one more chance
you sang the lyrics
I wanted to hear
each beat of you heart
that kept me near
you wrote the words
the meaning clear
thought it was a dream
till you appeared

this just may be
