Old Fashioned Moves
A Poem by
Frieda P
Dance me like I'm Ginger
and you're my Fred Astaire
old time Hollywood flair
Dance me in the moonlight
like old lovers used to do
twirl me while doves coo
Dance me slow, charm me off my feet
dance me so near
sing whispers softly in my ear
Dance me to the end of tomorrow's bliss
spin me lavish whilst I quake
then kiss me quick before I wake

Dance me like I'm Ginger
and you're my Fred Astaire
an old-time Hollywood movie
full of glitz and flair
Dance me in the moonlight
like old lovers used to do
twirl me while white doves
look on and thrill us with their coo
Dance me slow, charm my feet
hold me oh so near
sing, whisper softly as we glide
sweet nothings in my ear
Dance me to tomorrow's light,
spin me lavish whilst I quake
then kiss me deeply upon my lips
before I can awake.

Somehow when I am reading this poem the dance sequence and the song to singing in the rain comes to mind.

That's a good one too, but i was thinking more 'romantic' and flowy. :-)
Sometimes I fear that I was born in the wrong era. How I would have loved to attend balls and wear those gowns every day. Breaking the rules colonial style. I like to believe myself a tom boyish person, but something seems so attractive about that lifestyle.
Oh, great poem by the way
