A certain kind of music

A certain kind of music

 When I heard your song pumping at my front door

 I danced with you but felt out of place on the floor     

You played it loud and the rhythm was too syncopated      

 At one with the beat, you moved around alone elated

  it took you places I could never go with you

 As I stood watching waiting never knowing what to do

 in a time warp I’d gotten used to a certain kind of music

 With snappy melodies and words that rhyme and repeat

 Simple songs you could sing in the shower or mind's eye

 And never to look for meaning in the verses or rhymes

Hey Curtis, I'm with Cherie and yet I can't get over this feeling that the poem was like a little afterthought you had after she had left and you were remembering her moving to the music.....regardless, it rang true and I did enjoy it......T

Good write, My applause, My vote

At one with the beat you moved around alone so elated

 I could tell it took you places I could never go with you

Love & Regards
