don't stop

...a ghost
you haunt me
like a vision
you float/dance
across my minds eye

a slow waltz
our hips keeping time
whispering softly
in your ear
"don't be afraid"

sliding silently
across the worn floor
of a dimly lit dance hall
our pounding hearts
keeping perfect time

music fades
as we slowly turn
legs worn from revelry
souls torn by time
don't stop dancing

(finally) able to see

blind...
snakebit
afraid
bracing for the fall
like a man
on a train
ready to jump the tracks

standing
on the edge
hoping
these wings don't fail me
screaming
as I tumble...
you catch me mid-fall

broken
but healing
brought
back to earth
holding us close
(finally)
revived and so alive

(loving the fall...)

I'm coming
you feel/know
waiting impatiently
we face the world
back to back
hand in hand
eyes wide open
