start music now
Desperate Characters
Desperate characters
we dance in the dark
trying to capture
that magic, that spark
Wining and dining
and yearning to feel
the way that we did once
when true love was real
Desperate characters
we probe with our eyes
and try to detect there
the truth and the lies
Hoping for something
that can't be replaced
by strangers and others
that time has erased
Desperate characters
we give it a whirl
out there on the floor
the ballroom of the world
Of loving and losing
and losing some more
two ships without anchors
that have crashed on the shore
Still looking for magic
and longing for home
cause a house is just shelter
when you live alone
Desperate characters
trying so to be brave
holding onto a moment
that the heart cannot save
Then the music, it stops now
and the bright lights come on
in the dark, I was hopeful
but I'm leaving alone.

It IS a dance, of sorts, isn't it? Love this write....but I love most of your works!
ReplyDeletemany thanks! yes, it's all a dance, all of life!
DeleteNow this is a masterpiece! How well you blended your poem with the pictures is masterful. I can’t say enough! Love it!
ReplyDeleteA desperate woman should never be left alone though! My opinion! 💃🏻🕺🏻
thank you, David. Glad you like it. I love how it all came together
Deleteeven though I wrote the poem in 2005. Yeah...we desperate women.....you gotta be careful.
We can dance with you all night and then slip out the door when your back is turned!!!
lol don't ask me how I know.......I'm desperate but very picky!!!! lol (and not very
desperate at the moment) Don't you love this song???!!!!
Yep! Sure did! I closed my eyes as I was listening to it. I got so relaxed as I listened to it. I love her voice.
DeleteSpeaking of voice. How many of those poems of yours do you have that you narrate! I love to hear how the reader expresses the story. I love to read some of my stuff to some folks who appreciate some of the stuff I write.

DeleteA song I wrote
Yeah, any time you can't get a link to open, just highlight it with your curser
and then click on it.
It won't open it but you'll see something open that will take you to it
Deleteso just follow that, is what I meant. I love this song. That's my friend singing lead on it.
That's a beautiful folk type song! She has a beautiful voice. You wrote it huh? Very nice!!!! May be some day you can send me the song manuscript, if at all possible. Sometimes reading as the song plays gives it more fullness.
DeleteTrying to find the lyrics. probably on another laptop....
DeleteI'll be right here waiting for you!
DeleteReread it again. There's something about a woman in a black dress. I'm leaving you a oldie but goodie. With lyrics!!!! Enjoy!!
