Last Dance

Hope you like it

I’ve waited patiently all night,

Sedentary, admiring your beauty.

You’ve danced the night away…

But this last dance I saved for you.

 

Take my hand and just trust,

Trust and believe in this moment. 

My heart is empty - but truthfully,

That means I have more love to give.

 

A quick glance into your eyes…

Proof that true beauty still exists.

The touch of your sleek soft skin…

Too amazing for me to resist. 

 

I’ve been waiting for a woman like you,

To take my hand and fill my heart with love.

In this moment our souls align perfectly…

As if you’re an angel sent from above.

 

Our song ends and the warmth of your

Tender lips releases from my lips…

I watch as you gently walk away,

Glancing back… hoping I ask you to stay.

 

But I lingered quietly and watched my dreams fade,

A pure love is not destined for me.

I pushed away an angel packed with love,

And chose to stay heartbroken even in a dream.

One of my favorite Russian poets is Alexander Pushkin. Him being put into a Lyceum school turned him into a hopeless romantic. Although he certainly has his share of romantic poetry, and poetic fairy-tales (folktales, whatever you want to call them) I also admire his writing because of the fact that he really played around with rhythmic styles. Once you read one of his poems, it starts to flow in one way, and then the rhyming changes making it flow in a different way all of a sudden. This is what you have done here. And that is what makes the piece a lot of fun for me to read. I'm sorry it took me so long to finally read and review this piece. I'm only now getting close to reading through all of my read requests.

Thanks for the compliment my friend :) I like to play with the stuff I write.... like to write the way it feels right to me and the flow that I'm saying it with. I'm glad you connect with my work and understand what I do... maybe better than I know what and why I do it sometimes :)

Awe why did you let her go..
Really a touching piece.
I liked the story that is vividly penned but I loved the philosophy, that how we let go of opportunities and then regret.
Enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing.

It seems to be the cycle I am in... pushing away things that bring happiness. Someday the it will all work out :) Thanks for your review :)

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

A romantic Write Aaron, soft, dreamlike but somewhat desiring for real. I may be wrong lol

[Jane Taylor Hardy]

Soft and ethereal dream....heartbreaking....yet so many push away love. This also could fit philosophically into the last line of the last poem I read of yours.....is it all an illusion anyway? Great poem....very tender and gentle. Nicely inked!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much Jane :) Pushing away seems to be a problem for me lately so it was nice to kind of get some things off my chest and give the reader a peek into my mind :) Thanks for your review :)

In the beginning of the poem, as I read, I could feel the vulnerability, it was so touching, so loving, but then the end came, and I could literally feel the heart ache, the longing and the sadness. I so did NOT see that coming nor was i prepared...

Not nice to play with peoples emotions..LOL..Just kidding.
I loved it!! You wrote with deep emotions with this one...
I could feel it through the descriptions..

[AaronFreitas]

haha just like a guy playing with your emotions huh! haha jk jk I am glad you enjoyed it :) Always appreciate your reviews my best Brazilian friend :)

[E G TEN]

Tomorrow, great write,, I hear Michael Bublle, in the backround!
Thanks for Sharing.

[AaronFreitas]

haha thanks buddy :) I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[Pryde Foltz]

Dreams reveal our desires and our fears … why would one push away an angel. Next to an angel one would always feel small. Next to the love one had for an angel completely helpless … but I don't know … lol …. I am making this up as I go along. It really was a sublimely lovely poem.

[AaronFreitas]

haha thanks my friend... I appreciate it very much :) Thank you

Dream or real life. Still can break our hearts.
