Dance of time

My heart leaps in a discordant

Dance of joy,

With this Valentine

Come sweet memories

Of passed years that we

Danced in syncopating

Discordant motion to life’s rhythm

Drumbeats tapping,

Coherently in cohesive discordance

We traipse

All the time you were in my arms

Dancing these life's dance

Of incoherently rhythmic swaying-

We swayed to buffeting currents

Sidestepping to uplifting gaiety

Moved left into deep gloom,

We sashayed with lilting gaits

Uncertain traipsing through uncertain times

Background tingling of synchronous upbeat

Swaying us to higher heights

In perfect timing we tapped to time's beats

Awakening in sweep of swiftly executed steps

Sidestepping, barely scrapping

Toes to heels

Till flushed and exhausted we collapse

Falling gently into each other and time’s arms

On this Valentine-
