Between rhythm and rhyme
wondering which it would be
words seemed to fail me
the notes sounded out of key
Then you walked into the room
arranged the lyrics to a tune
You blew me away– repeatedly,
endlessly, to heights not yet known
Words so cleverly coupled, selected,
slithered into slippery dark places
stirring memories and dreams
painful heartbreaks of yesterday.
Caught up in an exotic dance
the music allured me once again
the beats, the strums, together
with words, they knew the drums
of my heart. They danced in valleys,
on mountains, through the oceans
beneath the moon and with the sun–
lighting up life between night and day.
