My Soul's Vibrato

I'm enchanted,
and I have been since Killin' Me Softly
It feels so good to be felt.

I'll dance sideways to stand close to you.
And I'd try so hard not to get spooked.
And if you're the one who gets spooked,
I'll still be singing songs about you
Years From Now.

Spring to Mind

Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash This morning I slow danced In secret With the sunrise There was nothing To prove Nothing To win or lose Nothing To hold on to Or let go We just danced Illicitly Guilt-free Forgot reality And any need to be Anything other Than present This morning I slow danced In secret With the sunrise.
