The Rhythm of My Heart
I dream of idle chatter
In a bar where nothing matters
Where sweet vibrations beat
In rhythm with my feet
And laughter comes so easy
Conversations light & breezy
Like a languid summers day
Where your mind can drift away
And eyes are full of winks
And lips are full with smiles
And beer flows like nectar
As we dance in different styles:
Some without rhythm
Some without a care
Some in perfect harmony
Some with natural flair
And Bob is singing loudly
And Janis, out of tune
And everyone is hoping
That this song is over soon!
And there's touching & caressing
And later, perhaps, undressing
And the air is life itself
Not a thing left on the shelf
Until the last song slows us down
As last orders come around
And we sway in tipsy bliss
Filled with joyful reminisce
Then, we start to drift away
Into the calming dark of night
No arguments to be heard
Or those spoiling for a fight
And my wife's head rests upon
My chest as we depart
And she gently hums along
To the rhythm of my heart

Thank you Aviva. I think it's romantic too & hopefully a little uplifting!
Unlike the morning after when my head is having a disco of its own...Thanks for the comment!
