Dancing Fools

 dancing fools, dancing around each other's heartsaying everything but what they really meanneither wants to be the one, to startno one wants to be, the first to come clean to lay their heart, on the lineto take one last chanceboth knows, it's only a matter of timebefore it turns to romance embers have been smoldering too longthis friendship can't help, but catch firewe can't fight it, it's too strongfeed by a deep relentless desire words have a need to be spokenhearts have a need to be mendedsilence has a need to be brokendestiny will go as intended will it come out in the heat of passionwords spoken in the height of lustsaid in a true lover's fashionnot the words but the tears she will trust or will she say the wordas she hangs up the phonenot knowing he heardbecause he lingered on will he kiss her while she's sleepingand whisper softly in her earthe secret he is still keepingnot knowing she can hear dancing fools, afraid to lose their friendwith the words spokenwill it be the beginning or endwill our special bond be broken dancing fool, dance with meI won't step on your heartlet me capture and set your heart freehurting you, would tear me apart copyright 5-2-10   huey horton   (hippiepoet69)

I love this

I know how this story goes. I love the way you explained the dance it's so true that sometimes it's even painful. I've gone through this. Love it. Saeva Scaeva ( Latin) " Rampant she-devil"

Thanks Alice

We did that dance many years ago. And we are still dancing. And we both know what we are dancing around. But it has only been a week this time. She posted this one on her blog in large font. I'm writting poems now faster than I can post them. Take Care. huey

Been there a few times

I remember many a time when I liked someone and they liked me, but with both being too shy it never got any further than friendship. What happened with me was I kept meeting boys who weren't so shy and ended up with them because it was more comfortable. I believe I probably lost my Mr Right because of this...nice one Huey.

Thanks Zena

I was very shy. I never told my first love I liked her. She moved away. We moved in to the house she had lived in next door. Angie loves huey was wrote all over her wall. I was 16 and she was 14. I still didn't learn to speak up. I wrote many poems about her. Take Care. huey
