Erren Geraud Kelly

and still she rises

maybe god needed a better poet to hear

at least the thunder will have some competition

yet carolina will miss its daughter's tales of home

and the world will have one less trumpet for justice

as the angels welcome another teacher

now, we must carry the baton she held proudly

greet even your enemies as friends; she would've

enjoyed the jazz a young girl's smile makes; she'd

love to see all souls of all hues, carrying 

on the fight to keep humanity in bloom

until we rise like balloons, just like her

Erren Geraud Kelly

love you like you dance...

if i could love you like you dance

i would twirl you around like a ballerina

watch you move your 

long legs in a jazz

style

you can move me like a can can girl at

the moulin 

rouge

or, when you get on top

break me off

in a hip hop, b-boy style

i want to see you move by 

yourself

as the music adds to your

colors

your long legs are a weapon

of mass seduction

you can do a tango with my 

heart

or, we could dance cheek to cheek

as beethoven becomes

your accomplice in

seduction

i want to love you like

you dance

watch you move, twirl

and bend yourself

until you lose yourself in 

me
