Written in June 2019, and as a draft for possibly a song, this poem is about love and being with that special one through life. This is dedicated to my wife, Line.
Refrain
It’s a slow dance but with racing hearts
You’re in my arms and we’ll never part
It’s a slow dance but with racing hearts
My love for you is way off the charts.
Verses
We met long ago under the moon and the stars
Like the coming together of venus and mars
Our arms have stretched out but never been apart
It’s a slow dance but with racing hearts
The music is playing softly with a slow, steady beat
We move together easily with the shuffling of feet
Looking into your eyes, you still give me fits and starts
It’s a slow dance but with racing hearts
We dance to all kinds of music and sing silly songs
In our hearts we know that we will always belong
To paint us together takes some creative art
It’s a slow dance but with racing hearts
There is warmth that spreads when we hold each other tight
The sun and stars are clearer and shine more bright
We’ll forever be together even with many moving parts
It’s a slow dance but with racing hearts.
Life is a like a melody with both highs and lows
It also has the thorns and the beauty of a rose
Ours is a garden with a choir of growing parts
It’s a slow dance but with racing hearts.
