Two Dancers
glide gracefully across the floor
Bodies
moving in time, intertwined
Speak
a soft language of their own
Lost
in a moment delicately timed
Sentient beings
enlightened by music
Bereft
of surroundings and cares
Swooning
to a rhythm of passion
While
others watch with envious stares
Swirling,
twirling, a gentle hold
Smiles
beam from each face
A
moment in time they’ll remember
A
feeling, time cannot erase
The
song reaches its final end
They
close with one last valiant spin
A
new song plays a different tune
Sit in the memory or shall we dance again?

ReplyDeleteYours is the definitive feel good poem of the season.
Kind of odd to read a comment like that on one of my poems! Mine aren't usually of the feel good nature it seems. Maybe a good sign for 2016!
DeleteOh, Dance again. And again. Excellent piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I believe you have a fine idea!

ReplyDeleteThank you Colleen...always enjoy your comments. I always dance, but it's a beautiful thing when there are two in step with one another.
DeleteYou make me feel like dancing!! I dream of dancing with my Venusian princess, even when your planet is blocking my view. Lovely and romantic! 8 points, Earthling!

So beautifully romantic. I love this!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to swirl and dance, but I have this habit of stepping on other peoples feet. Beautiful poem though.
ReplyDeleteSo romantic... but that is what dancing is... sensual. Beautiful penning and quite accurate. I would rather dance again, and again, and again. <3 ~Leta
