Bloodless Coup

Saw me dancing away, hunky dory Felt you had seen me somewhere Your friend had told you a story It had moved you, brought a tear

For a second, light danced over me Stripping away the cloak of the dark For a moment, my eyes revealed The longing of my heart

Your body began to sway Rhyming the jolly disposition My lips smiled in acknowledgment Swift with the transition

Again the photons fell Illuminating our eyes You undressed my heart Saw scars of a thousand lies

We didn’t exchange words You leaped into my arms Taking me into the fjords With your sensory charms

In a night, you saw my stand No pleading my case Burdens of visions, grand Shared gently, with grace

It took me long to trust you Fearing deception and betrayal You pulled off a bloodless coup Beating the devil’s portrayal

I could never leave your side now You won me over for good We have mountains to climb For eons they have stood
