you say you cannot dance
but that’s impossible to believe
for in your sparkling eyes
for in your sparkling eyes
your rhythmic spirit i perceive
i do not wish thee to deceive
so just one waltz of love
then take your leave
then take your leave
tis not forever that I seek
but just a night of sweet romance
won’t you please this time enhance
and come to me let me receive
your noble gesture your one last stance
to find your way for love conceived
but just a night of sweet romance
won’t you please this time enhance
and come to me let me receive
your noble gesture your one last stance
to find your way for love conceived

beautiful words to go with a beautiful picture.
i often wondered if i missed out on the greatest love because...i wanted more. had i accepted it for what it was, maybe it could have lasted even longer. (a little off the beaten path) :)
such comforting and warm thoughts this post brings to mind.
This have a feel of the notion to "live and love in the moment". So important to remember at all times, as moments is all we really ever get.;)
Lovely.

yes, marlene, you said it perfectly!!! love and life, in general - a beautiful dance - but especially love - yummmmmm......
thanks so much mistressofallthewords, nevine!!!
and i so know what you mean, blue, truly i do - and words that strike a chord for many of us, i'm sure - well, for me, in any event - your thoughts remind me of that quote from the movie steel magnolias which is one of my all time favorite quotes which i try to live by - "i'd rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special" - well, i want my thirty minutes!!! again!!! ;)
'tis great to have you over, dear lady! please come again soon!
zuzana - yes, only the moment - THIS moment, do we have! and it's meant to be lived and loved!
If I may...
Dancing is not for love
Dancing is for seducing
Dancing is making love
Without meaning
Love is holding a woman
Wiping her tears of joy
Love is hugging a woman
Drying her tears of pain
Love is fighting for a woman
Protecting her against all
Above all...
Love is your woman playing music
And I listening with tears
Love is music

ah, man from the cold - and if i may, i must disagree, sir!!!
for i myself have danced with love i have danced in love i have held love in my arms as i danced i have made love in dance and i have been loved in dance just as i have loved in dance - i believe that no one is seduced without their full consent and desire - i have found meaning in dance when there was no meaning anywhere else - i have spoken words unsaid in dance and i have heard voices unknown in dance - i have danced in lust and lusted in life - i have cried tears of joy and tears of grief and pain in dance and in dance, have had those tears - the same tears wiped away with dance and with love - i too have had music played to me and music written for me - songs written for me about me and sung to me and in all their glorious lyrics and rhythms, i have danced - i have fought for love and i have been protected with love - i have loved - and i have been loved - i have danced many dances -
- what i am saying, sir, is that there are all kinds of dance, just as there exists all kinds of love
- and for all those who have not experienced the dance i know, i hope you dance!!!
Well, milady, you well may! And who would I be to dispute this? Who would I be indeed?
Maybe If I could dance... maybe if I could I would think otherwise... But I cannot not, so no woman ever won me with a dance.
I was won over in a single surprised look, struck down by the gaze of two startled eyes...
A few hours later those eyes were indeed dancing
An unsure hand over mine, and then they too were dancing! That was so long ago... and later I had to say no to a woman, and then still only with the eyes, because how can one say no in words without hurting?
The eyes...

:)

I wish I could find someone like that..to whom I could just walk over to and dance with without a care in the world. Someone to share my passion with. Someone who treasures what we share, however short it may be.
Love
Deboshree
