Eyes That Danceby
Thomas Wolfe
Eyes that dance, hint of romance, that darting glance, wants another chance
Shapely mouth a chatter, makes hearts a patter, does it all matter, each live�s almost shatter
Fingers brush his skin, kindred souls leaps within, sound reaches deaf din, soaking the moment in.
Time stood still, testing one�s will, engage all thy skill, make only presence fill
Put destined outlook aside, stem the emotional tide, extend this choppy ride, love neither can hide

Twisted in trepidation
'Carefully' covered our tracks
Afraid of what we�ll see
The moment that we stop
Turn around and look back
Lost to savored bits of insanity
The moments we cannot embrace
Borrowing against another�s time
For we have none reserved
Relinquish one another to the race
Shove aside the clouds
Shiver off the cold
Claim we can see through
The merciless night
Before it folds
Gather ourselves so quickly
Relent before we�re found
In a place so stolen away
As we are
Or as the world gathers round
