Old Fashioned Moves

 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.

Kind of reminded me of Scarlett and Rhett swinging and waltzing in the moonlight! :)

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful and hopeful poem. Dancing is good for the spirit and the soul. I like the desire and the purpose of the poem. Nice to dance with someone and find freedom from life for a few moments. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
Coyote

[Frieda P]

Thanks Coyote, dance with me? :-)

[KeeD]

Reminds me of the time when movies were about grace and beauty more than sex and money. Beautiful piece from a beautiful soul
"Edelweiss Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me"

[Frieda P]

Sing it Kee, I knew you had an old soul. :-)

[quinfinn]

delightful. made me think of the old musicals and the raw beauty of their innocence and sensuality. diverse and gorgeous!

[Frieda P]

I'm so pleased, that's exactly what I wanted out of it, wasn't sure if it was going to work or not...thanks so much!
