The Ballroom of my Mind

A poem I wrote based on the three prompts, dancing, pitch black darkness, and the smell of lilacs.

The soft sound of music floats down the hall

It catches me gently, lifting me

It ensnares my mind, and all I can think of is the music

My feet move to it

Softly I sway

In the pitch black darkness

Of the ballroom in my mind

I dance on the wind as it carries me

Higher and higher

Until the world below me fades away

And I'm left alone with the music

In the pitch black darkness

Of the ballroom in my mind

I wear a gown made of roses 

My hair is braided with lilacs

My jewelry is made of stars

And I dance to the music 

as the smell fills the emptiness

In the pitch black darkness

Of the ballroom in my mind

I waltz on the wind

And I am dipped by my partner

A man made of obsidian

His clothes of silver

And his gold eyes gleam

In the pitch black darkness

Of the ballroom in my mind

A lovely descriptive poem! I loved the "theme" of "The Ballroom of My Mind" and it worked very well. Thank you for submitting this to my challenge!
