Dancing Girl.Pencil drawing.
~
If I could have held your hand
Found words to make you understand
But I could only look upon
The beauty that within you shone
~
For never a prettier thing
Could ever come to dance and sing
And with the music you did flow
Enchanting those that love you so
~
For each little move that you make
You create much more than you take
Bringing beauty for its own sake
And love and virtue in your wake
~
But my dance went all wrong
And my chance is forever gone
Just like the music of the song
Now you will have to move along
~
For words could never ever say
The things to make you by me stay
And you did slip from my hand
To the grip of another man
Found words to make you understand
But I could only look upon
The beauty that within you shone
~
For never a prettier thing
Could ever come to dance and sing
And with the music you did flow
Enchanting those that love you so
~
For each little move that you make
You create much more than you take
Bringing beauty for its own sake
And love and virtue in your wake
~
But my dance went all wrong
And my chance is forever gone
Just like the music of the song
Now you will have to move along
~
For words could never ever say
The things to make you by me stay
And you did slip from my hand
To the grip of another man

ReplyDeleteI answered your question about what did the Blue Jay look like before I messed with it and put the actual photo on the same post. Now, if you have time, you can return to my birds blog and see for yourself.
Thanks for asking. I think it made a better post and I also included the sounds they make

I love your drawings and painting, I would love to draw as you do, it's so beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoyed this poem! The musicality and profound descriptions are brilliant. Having said that, I do have one suggestion: make everything stay in the same tense (either all past or all present).
