Choices

 





Choices


It's so dark in here
But not so dark
That I can't see your eyes
Examining my contours
In the neon glimmer

I pretend not to see
But I feel
The pull of you
Like a thousand magnets
Circling a tiny piece of metal

The D J changes the music
And that silky smooth voice
From the years gone by
And dearly departed
Fills up the room and all of my senses

I turn my back to you
As you stand against the wall
Observing and weighing your options
Then I feel a strong arm go around my waist
And you turn me and put my arms around your neck

In almost imperceptible motion
You lead me without a word
To the crowded dance floor
And we melt into the music
And the thrill of the unknown

We both came here looking
For something we needed
Something to fill 
The void our parting had made
Something to refill our souls

And there I was and there you were
And our hearts, minds and bodies
Made their choices in the dark
And the magic of the music
Sealed the deal.

  1. We were cheek to cheek as we were dancing
    Holding close we were as we were romancing.

    Not a word was said as the music played
    You just held me close; Oh I’m glad you stayed!

    Now you know we've been through a lot today
    Let me hold you close
    As we pass the time away..

    All the signs they show that everything’s alright
    So we’ll stay right and dance into the night!

    Now the choice is yours if we go or stay

    So let’s melt into the music that the DJ plays! ............... I could go on with this!

    Loved the song! The poem was.....Mmmwaw! 😘

    6. After giving it some thought, well, more than one thought, I think I know what happened……when I first started doing a profile I used the one with me and my Son’s first, and when I accepted your invite to Bluevineyard it asked me to do a profile but it didn’t have anything that allowed me to use the first one so I created the second one.
      As for the “B” one, I have no idea! I haven’t seen that one come here or anywhere else! Have you, Voo? Aka Aachoo! Boo, You! How do you do! This one’s for you! 🌹🌼
