Skate With The Beat Of The Love Song

My toe-picks cross each other and my arms at my side then,

The music starts,

The singing moves my feet this way and that,

My dress, spins as I do,

The music controls the beat of my heart,

The freedom I feel when the music starts,

Figure eight with one foot then,

Jump in the air as fast as I can and do the triple axel,

Land and on the picks,

Spin and spin,

My hair comes out of the bun,

As I lower my body to the ice,

My speed slows,

Still spinning slowy,

I reach my hand out and stroke the cold ice I live on,

Jump,

Spin,

Axel,

One foot,

Both feet,

On the corner of the rink speed up,

Faster,

Faster,

Skate to the middle of the rink,

And spin,

Let my fingers gently stroke the ice,

Listen to the music,

Slow,

Slower,

Notice of the music control the pace,

Reach out with on hand and skate one foot,

Like trying to reach your goal,

Or your love,

End in the middle,

And realize the music has stopped,

Little tears at the corner of your eyes,

Cheers and screams of joy congradulate you,

Knowing that they don't know the meaning of why you skate,

You raise your arms up to conclude you finished,

Drop them down and wish...

The one person you want to know everything about you,

Could go to that place where music controls the pace,

Fast or slow,

Calm or Pressured,

While skating there is that place for you...

That perfect place where you can escape...

Until it has to end...

very beautiful! this piece has some great imagery. Its as if while you're telling the story about skating, you actually are skating, and that is what brings the originality of this piece to my attention. Really love this poem... shows passion, willingness, dedication, beauty! wonderful write

I never have skated on ice like this, but I could vividly grasp what it would feel like thanks to your description. You added little details that most would leave out, but that are defiantly necessary for the reader to be able to understand. It was a nicely written piece, and I'm glad to have read.

Oh. My. God.

A-ma-zing. I LOVE IT!!
