Holiday
Christmas
Will not decay
With an accomplice
Always fresh
With a happy companion
Flesh to flesh
And much affection
Life is fun
Life is exciting
Life is a blast
Life is exhilarating
A special person
Makes all the difference
Affection and cooperation
Tolerance and reverence
Honor and cherish
Give all you can
Romance will not perish
With many parties over your lifespan
Birthdays
Halloween
Anniversaries
Weddings
Many occasions to share
Arm and arm
Under loving care
And mesmerizing charm
Sing with joy
For this grand opportunity
Only we can destroy
Our loving community
And I will guard and protect
This one in a lifetime chance
Allowing no disrespect
During this lifelong dance
She found me
She chose me
I have claimed her
And I will keep her
Forever and ever
To death do us part
And I will never
Lose my sweetheart
Tag: appreciated
Shift
Shift
Left to right
Forward and back
Dark to bright
Run to tack
There are many ways to go
And I must change
Do not go with the flow
I must turn the page
Leave Jackson
Do not be shocked
Viking or saxon
Not land locked
A new journey
Sailing away
Leaving absurdity
A new sunset everyday
My intent
My want
My plan
My desire
At sixty not too late
To transition
A new journey and fate
A grand ambition
But wait
Who is this girl
That I went on a date
Her hair has so much curl
I am smitten
By her beauty and enthusiasm
Maybe sailing is not written
She has to be an addendum
My plan b has crumpled
Moving to plan c
My arrogance humbled
I now can see
I want her in my life
And she makes me laugh
With no crazy strife
I want to be her better half
In this moment
In this time
In this minute
In this space
I will pursue her
Wanting to know if she is real
Not some imaginary blur
And my feelings are real
Sailing will be there
But I can not let this pass
I am chasing that wild hair
And this charming lass
There is so much opportunity
There is so much promise
There is so much compassion
There is so much expectation
Go all in
Do not miss the chance
I can only laugh and grin
A sailboat can not kiss or dance
My Dance
I did not respect my health Keep track of my friends Sharpen and expand my mind Or appreciating my wealth Do I have remorse Concerning all these thoughts A strange force Bothering me a lot Why do they bother me now I have lived a long time Will it change somehow My story rhyme The pace my life progresses In a repetitive motion Failures and successes Indifferences and emotions Up and down Round and round A priest or a clown Mute or with sound What I have learned Is I can fight it But I will get burned Or use my wit Learn the dance Forward and back Retreat and advance Seek peace and attack Dancing is easy Moving to the beat Not at all cheesy Beautiful when expressed The dance presents understanding And maturity Your emotional health is expanding Giving you security Security to be yourself Security to let someone go Security to be alone Security to be alright Alright is not hard Or overrated You can lower your guard Throw away things hated Why walk on eggshells Every step of the way Jump at each bell To keep the family gay Wait to be invited Like a waiting taxicab Feel judged and indicted A jab or a stab Sounds very frightening But all I wish Is emotional enlightening And to dance with a swish Twirl about Skip to the tune These things have no clout I am immune I dance with charming traits Knowing I am good And so much awaits Without any falsehoods Taken for granted Highlighting my faults Their beliefs are slanted But I will waltz To their reverberations And their misrepresentations Dancing on my foundations Forgetting the frustrations My dance is divine To and foe And it is all mine The ebb and flow The coming and going Enjoying the song That rhythm flowing I have grown strong
