Dancer (the Light Fantastic)
by Karl WaldbauerHave I told you
how empty my busiest day is without you?
Did I mention
how cold a sweltering night is when youre not by my side?
I have to remind myself
who I am so as to not lose my identity when we kiss.
You make a cup of tea for me
I am lavished with the richness of love.
Surely this is how my life was intended to be;
at peace with the world
when I dance in your universe.
