My Ballet

I'm caught up in the tangled steps of Life's tango... and am loving every second of it.

 

 

 

 

I close my eyes and my feet lift

Twisting at a languid pace

Drifting and shifting between the planes

Searching for that sacred place

I go to when I dance

 

My mind reaches out for that sunset hue

The shade of a dewy afternoon

With no trace of shadows

No trace of gloom

Only serenity and peace

 

My body coils and writhes

Undulating in unselfish joy

The music of my imagination flowing

In, around, and through me

Forcing me to move

 

My feet alight from the earth

Desperate to make an escape

My body sets into a rhythm of flight

In these moments the Earth stands still

And waits for me to catch up

 

My entire being sings with freedom

The relentless hum of motion

Kinetic and sensual, the music rushes

Carrying me along in this ballet

Into the space-time continuum

 

Colors and shapes surround me

Encasing me in a warm embrace

Moving with me in a carnal cadence

An animalistic lust for release

An explosive evolution of body and soul

 

Reviews

[John Stussy]

Captures the feelings of dance very well, with the focus on the abandon of letting your body flow with the music. Good job on this.

[Hannah Jane]

I like this poem. I love ballet. I want to feel this when I dance.
