She gave me a kind smile as we danced the Texas two-step. She whispered in my wanting hears. "Dear Johnnie. People are foolish. They long to stay and long to escape in the same second. Few of us stop to dance and talk. Love is holding hands and create memories"

I told her. Dear Amie. Most of us live a lie. Become so messed-up. Can't tell the truth from a lie. Love could be at our feet and we cannot see her. We are consumed by the wrong things. Wise people find time to Texas two-step and shared days and nights together create bless memories.

Amie laughed and smiled at my words spoken. She looked deeply into my eyes and she asked me. " Johnnie, how do you stop a wild river going downstream? How do you steal the need of the highway and the need of drink and the motels from a untamed man?"

I brought her closer and we moved with the song. I told her. Even the river end-up flowing into the sea. Great storms become quiet and untamed hearts and soul must find shelter and love. I believe. Love comes when love want and dear Amie. Lets dance the Texas two-step till 2 am and find the Austin River at closing time. We just might be blessed with the gift of love and friendship. Need time and great effort.

Having such a deep conversation while dancing the two step brings out the beautiful simplicity of love "Love comes when love want and dear Amie. Lets dance the Texas two-step till 2 am and find the Austin River at closing time." Enjoying the moment they have.

Stunning and terribly romantic. I agree we are foolish, we squander our time and rush our way through life, my son has taught me to slow down and take in the scenery. However old the art of romance is still alive.
A lovely piece. R x

I believe the art of romance is alive. Just most folks don't realize. Must tempt the heart to make love come alive. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.

These "just words" are a real eye opener Coyote and a good message to everyone to slow down and live life in the moment and stop getting sucked into all the lies. Thanks for sharing this :)

I don't know why i had a snicker from this. When you held her and danced I saw a new life spinning outward. People have their own ways how things are and should be until it's in front of them, it becomes different to their eyes. Great captivating write

People are foolish indeed. We live at broadband speed, rushing to see it all, do it all, then post pictures of the great times we had, never realising they weren't as great as they could have been, because we were too busy documenting it. This piece almost feels like a memorial to memory, those things we used to store in our own inner cloud, that has the flaws of popping them out unexpectedly, to reminisce and smile at once more. I prefer the flawed version any day. Maybe we should all take a little time out, just to two step and be happy being in the moment.
Beautifully captured, as ever.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. The flaws version allowed us to live and test life without fear.

this kind of romance does seem a thing of the past...we have become so skeptical...haven't we?

we see dams in the river...and lies even in the truths.

You are right my friend. The good days of old are gone. Thank you Jacob for reading and the comment.

Has such a nice feel to it. I think Romance is a thing of the past sadly...
