~ I dance alone

~ I dance alone

A Poem by Frieda P

I dance alone 

     in unworldly spaces    'tween

                a darkly disenchanted spin

          divided in solitaire steps   

             to that place of off key symphonies, 

  once our strides harmoniously rhymed

    rhythm of blues tripped my feather'd shoes

        jazzy druthers sighing in sad tune'd sashays ,

          longing to prance in madness of elegant 

                             cross'd body gilded tones

  want to be your Terpsikhore once again

      feel your empowerment move my soul

         upon amber'd cloud nine perfect skies

I haven't read any of the reviews, but in light of how many there are, I wonder how many times you've been told that you never dance alone...well, whatever the case, I'm looking you in the eye right now and telling you, you will never dance alone Mrs.R, as long as I'm around. As Elton and Bernie said, sad songs say so much...xo

I'm terrible at dancing; even dancing alone, I point and laugh quite a bit!

No, unfortunately, I don't need Winifred for that!
This is another elegant piece of write my friend and as far as dance alone is concern, hard to believe you will be dancing alone as many are waiting for one single sign to dance with you forever:)

Beautiful and amazing poetry. Your strong description create good visions and places. The dance is the last free form of movement for us to enjoy. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

I am confused who I am... You say that's you, but that's me in the photo and that's me all week when Gary is gone to work. It took all these years to find my Soul Mate and now we are separated for what? a Job?
I'd rather live off the land, go without things we don't need anyway and be in his arms then to be starved of love locked in this tower.
If it were not for my family here I would starve and death would overcome my Soul

A lone silhouette moves in feathery fashion to a low volume melody only heard by the one. Soft steps on lonely dance floors, mirrored ball illusions paint faux starlight in her eyes as she remembers the past, when they were in poetic harmony, when their words moved as one and hearts sung their every wished song.

My sweet Frieda, music fills your words and make my heart dance...sadly, alone.

Thanks Jack, always appreciate your kind words.
I dance alone... apt words to describe what's it like to grieve or feel a loss. Like the music and lyrics of life have ceased. What once made us feel lyrical and light now only leaves in in the dark....turning slowly to some sad plaintive sound. Beautiful hun...xo
