Dance, Lisa, Dance (college)
Dance with me awhile
Spinning in slow circles
Underneath a maze
Of raised silver swords–
Oops, too romantically medieval.
Try again.
Dance with me awhile
As I stare into your eyes
Lost in their depth
Oblivious to the music–
Way too schmaltzy.
Not so poetic this time.
Dance with me awhile
Cyclones battling
Eyes facing eyes
On a gauzy beach–
Whoa! Too bizarre and abstract.
Oh well,
Just dance with me awhile
And I’ll be happy.
