Chances



why, tell me why
where did you go
the you and the other who promised?
when I'm not looking, the chatter increases
to levels of laughter, insane almost, if left near a bus stop
and yet, quite contrived whenever I appear
is that my paranoia again,
or something more sinister, creeping within?
I'm betting on neither as neither is real
perception is what you believe
and I'm thinking I'll pass on this round,
maybe the next few if this trend continues ...

the swelling of the hope willed promises
anytime we stopped to share, to sizzle a little
our days, our thoughts, our aspirations
I began to feel again
began to need a friend
and believe,
we breathed in the silliness
with satisfied sips,
grandiose hiccups
had us skipping on simmer right through that hard, wooden door

is this an echo, or something more
than some tantalizing mind sweep,
across the canvas of dreamy eye lids
close them and see
splashed in hues of begin again
these tender scenes
make them stay,
keep them real...

id you and Robin have a party without us? LOL I feel so wonderland in this one...where is that white rabbit? :} hee hee!
I feel the same here as when I read some of Robin's work and it's hard to explain because it is complex. It's like being her and there and no where all at the same time. In the same moment and then turning to find you may have been mistaken, but that remnants is real.

Do you understand?

Thanks Amy,

I do.

There are those certain moments in life that happen, that are so magical and life changing... one wonders if it really happened or was merely a fabulous dream...

One you never want to awaken from.

You know what I mean?

We have all been there at one time or another.

*sigh*

and yet, the practical side of me tells me life goes on..... and on.... and on....

lol ;-)

Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view,
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you.
Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine,
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine.

Bridge:

In the magic of moonlight,
When I sigh, "Hold me close, dear,"
Chances are you believe the stars
That fill the skies are in my eyes.

Guess you feel you'll always be
The one and only one for me
And, if you think you could,
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good.

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at the bridge.)
