Sway
Just enough
To give hope a ray,
Sway
A bit more
To let me find
The way,
Sway
Then again,
To so compose
You’d have me stay,
Sway
Fate might fix
Life be with love
More than a day,
Sway
To find share
Destined replete
Be criteria’s fare,
Sway
Life be free
Of bent aspirants,
And political tyrants,
Sway
Alas man finds
Give life to dreams,
Barring nightmare,
If incubi, succubi be there
For ones held pleasures!
I sought living
Years the more,
Of them the sum
Secures encore,
For score or two
Not ne’er enough,
A pardon due
Leads me to plead,
Not waive the stuff
Of years one lived,
Chance be my best
Of time life gives,
When soon to rest
Hold years ahead,
Not played as test
For idling dead,
When all ‘tis left
Means but to pass
Expressly fast,
Begs added score
To get it right
Before the dark,
Be my eternal night!
Give me love
Just a little,
Till you know
I won’t loose it,
Take your time
While you muse,
Shall we dance…
Tell me when,
Be your feeling
To declare,
That you care,
In the interim
Shall we dance…
I’ll be there,
If you choose,
To embrace,
We can share
What you feel,
For the while
Shall we dance…
When propitious
For love’s season,
Be fates chance
Held be reason,
Love means stay
Beyond grey,
Take my love
For we shall dance!
