Music

There's a sadness 
     To the air 
When you're not 
     Here 

The air itself 
     Is melancholy -
It hasn't got you 
     To wrap itself 
Around 

And the ground -
It hasn't got you 
Walking on it -
It is lonely for your 
Footprints 

The chair 
Wonders where 
     You are 
The arms -
And the footrest -

The empty 
Wine glass 
On the shelf -

We all cry 
And listen to 
Andrea Bocelli 
Pour his heart out 
With symphonic 
Backing 

I need 
Symphonic help here 
Some timpani 
Some conductor 
     To tell me what to do 
With such feelings  

I am new to the world 
     Of great 
Music 

dancing lessons

dancing lessons 
     at my age...
give me a break 
     i resist 
     i give myself all the reasons
     i don't want 
          to go 

some young 
     whipper-snapper 
thinks i'm going to remember 
     all of this??

but actually 
it's fun... 
     i surprise myself 
     with trying - 
this is something 
     i've never done 

co-operated...

been positive 

tolerated 
     type A
     types 
Telling me 
What To Do !!!

maybe 
life would've been 
easier 
if 

maybe if 
i hadn't fought 
-tooth and nail-
against 

maybe i could have just 
gone with the flow 
maybe 
once !

but then 

you 

never met
