each step,
one to the right,
one back,
one to left,
and so on,
each with grace and ease,
looking into his eyes...
one girl to the right,
one boy to the left,
and so on it goes,
this stupid dance we all like to call,
love.
he goes on his way,
and i follow,
i try to pull away,
but he is the lead.
he takes a step foward,
i must take that step back,
one glance to the girl at the right,
i take a glance to the boy at the left.
he takes a step backwards,
i take one foward,
now gazing into his eyes...
again it starts over...
leading me on,
until that one glance,
our eyes that wander,
and then one trip,
and many stumbles afterwards...
there is no longer the grace that once was,
all messed up by the straying eyes...
its all different now...
a dance for two...
pas de deux

This is an awesome poem. I know how this feels. My ex Greg had roving eyes. That is why I ended it with him. I enjoyed the read! Thank you for entering my contest.

*shimmy shimmy*
Here I am in silence,
Looking round without a clue.
I find myself along again
All alone with you.
I can see behind your eyes
The things that I don't know.
If you hide away from me,
How can our love grow?
I want to know
What you're thinking.
There are some things you can't hide.
I want to know
What you're feeling.
Tell me what's on your mind.
I know I could break you down,
But what good would it do?
I could surely never know
That what you say is true.
Here I am in silence;
It's a game i have to play.
You and I in silence.
With nothing else to say.
I want to know
What you're thinking.
There are some things you can't hide.
I want to know
What you're feeling.
Tell me what's on your mind.
*dance dance*
