THE DANCE

You work so hard

to woo me

Once I surrender

you become less tender

Your fingers forget

my number

Contacting me encumbers

you

It's a dance that needs

to come to an end

So I can begin

my new life

No longer a wife

I need a new man

To hold my hand

and lay next to me in my bed

Bodies warm with slumber

Both of us under

Each others spell

another terrific poem Lynn. With 'encumbers' and 'slumbers' I couldn't help but think there should be some 'cucumbers' thrown in for good measure. Maybe not ? Time for me to dance off into the night....
