Poetry

Lucky

Together we dance in my monk's cell apartment
At least that's what she calls it
Songs from my computer speakers fill the air
In my arms
I pull her close
And my body moves with hers
So beautiful a woman
With so sweet a heart
So sweet and stubborn
So kind and strong
So careful and determined
This is my woman
And though she says
She's lucky to have me
I know full well it is I
Who am the lucky one
Dancing with one so beautiful
And gentle and loving
In my monk's cell apartment
Moving across this tile floor
Two feet one way, then two feet another way
Spinning and turning as songs build and fall
It is I who am the lucky one
So I am ever full of trickery
Telling her she is the lucky one
