syncopating

Cycle of motion 

Syncopated rhythms

She sings in alternating stress beats

I wait for the round

Find myself in an interlude

Of my own making 

Surprised to find

She’s dancing the Waltz

While I thought I had found the four

The difference between us

Is she is jazz and uptown

And I am as vulgar as a pop song

Her heart pulses

Like Timpanis in perfect pitch

I rumble like an empty gut

And still shes dances

And pretends to be wooed

Even though I am only lip syncing

the dance is the dance at the end of the day, or night. Groovy poem. I enjoyed this one.

A familiar dance that most of us have practised at one time or another.

Clever, clever poem.

okay, so back to read for my usual zillionth time...Frieda made me think here. I wanna know is he lip syncing to fool her or is he lip syncing to keep her? I lip sync..when I have head phones on in front of this computer, hopefully the camera never comes on and records me!LOL I do it for the sake of my family's hearing:P and because I want to feel emotional connection....same here or different?

I didn't intend for it to mean deceiving. He sings terribly so he's just mouthing the words because it's the best he can do

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

Maybe he doesn't give himself enough credit?lol

[Frieda P]

Sometimes we don't have the rhythm but we can still follow the beat, unless of course you're lip syncing, which is kind of underhanded and not harmoniously inclined....

Love that stanza, you hit all the high notes as usual in your poetry.

They say opposites attract, and they do but can they coexist? I loved the comparisons of personality you chose for each of them, so many couples are like this, so different from each other that it keeps things interesting unless one tries to control instead of enhance each others life. you don't have to be the same, It's probably more fun if you are not ...if both can control the urge to conform instead of embrace differences. The last line is very sad.

Each heart beat has an echo. It sends a message across the waves like a traveler finding a preferred pace. It needs to be infinite and therefore opposite. A circle is always well rounded:)

wow, the metaphor is great in this...love your analogies..
she is jazz, I am a vulgar pop song...
I don't deserve her but she makes me feel I do with her wooing song.
