Carnation
Dancing across the floor
Moving gracefully in time
Waited so long just to be here
And the steps are natural
With such finesse painted by love
Never shall it swoon
All those watching start to swoon
As bodies glide along the floor
An image of eternal love
Captured in a fading time
Powerful yet so natural
It takes so much to get here
Some spend their lives to get here
And fight the battle not to swoon
Trying to look natural
As you fly along the floor
Bringing you back to that time
When all there could be was love
You won’t relinquish your love
You deserve to be here
You spent all that time
Caused all the people to swoon
Just to get to this floor
And be pinned somewhere so natural
And keep yourself poised as natural
To feel the rush of love
And trot along the floor
Dancing lively just to be here
Knowing you can’t swoon
Though you want to all the time
To fall into the arms of time
Well spent and natural
So much feeling you can’t swoon
And fall into your love
Who is so happy to be here
With you atop the floor
His flower falls to the floor, the dance over just in time
So strange that you can be here, in his arms so natural
Barely held by the one you love, you can’t help but to swoon
