Waltz
Teach me to dance a waltz,
To lose myself and lead,
Synchronize my pulse
With the music’s beat.
Teach me each single turn
And a firm grip,
So that my hands can learn
Not to let yours slip.
Show me a way to kiss,
Keeping my eyes – closed
And afterward, savor bliss
Of paradise lost,
To breathe, exhale air,
And again -- from scratch! --
To fall in love, flare,
Melting the snow in March.
