Escapes Me

In the rustling of the leaves I hear you.

Through the bustling of the trees, I see you.

The wind whips my checks and sends chills through my bones,

but the thought of you warms me.

The ground pulls at my feet, making each step I take painful; awkward.

I continue forward hoping to touch you one more time.

Hoping this will be the last time I search for you.

I dare to believe you will be there for me.

Can my heart handle another mis-step?

When I reach for you will you come to me?

I fall to my knees, a tear sheds.

Here I wait, and hope to see, that which has escaped me.

~Love~

Will You Dance With Me?

She hears the music playing

The melody is so loud.

She wonders where it's coming from~ it must be near.

Her heart is racing.

Her thoughts are chasing, the memory of a man, she once saw here.

Would he dance with her?

She remembered feeling how wonderful it would be, to be wrapped within his arms.

His eyes smiled, but she doubted.

For why would a man such as him choose her?

She froze in the place.

He was near.

She tried to utter words.

 He's passed her with out a glance.

She had stumbled at her chance.

Now here she is within these walls.

It's been years...all was thought lost.

But here again is her and him.

There he is standing with a grin.

Will she fail to catch his eye?

Will she again leave wondering "why?"

He's once again within her space.

Her heart thunders.

Her hands shake.

Her voice barely a whisper

She looks into his eyes and exhales,

"Will you dance with me?"

It's Just A Kiss

It's just a kiss!

Our eyes met and I knew.

I wanted to be kissing you.

You weren't sure what to think.

But you knew, too, I would be kissing you!

I approached, you didn't back away.

My eyes begging you to stay.

I told you once "I'm going to kiss you"

Then I step within your space.

I grabbed your hand, and wrapped it around me, for a tight embrace.

In a quick moment my lips were on yours

Soft, tender, sensual.

I hunger for more.

Our lips pressed together our tongues explore

Yes, I do want more.

I feel dizzy.

Am I breathing on my own or borrowing breath from you?

You step away and look at me

Am I the girl you wanted to see?

Only time will tell

Only the future will see

Will there be a you ~ with me?

Or is a kiss just a kiss

And that's all it will ever be?
