The Dancer

Alone...

A sweet music plays, then you hold my hand
Take me to dance in the middle of the night
Eye to eye, your hands on my hips
I don't want to take you out of my sight

My teardrops flow, sweetest of all
You press your lips against mine
This is the happiest moment of my life
Tasting your lips as sweet as wine

But why it's turning dark, just like before?
I feel so weak and afraid again
For in this dark room I cannot see
My shadow that comforts me when I'm in pain...

Author's Note

For those who comfort themselves with their own shadows...

Close your eyes and you have the world. Open them and find you are left alone in the dark. The lonliness and insecurity felt in the last verse here touches your reader and takes them to that place in time when they were left alone...and hurt. A poem on lonliness much appreciated Dhaye...

It is sad sweet days can turn to sad days.
"My teardrops flow, sweetest of all
You press your lips against mine

wow, yes, dancing with oneself...sometimes the only comfort we can find...if we are our own best partner...we will survive the dance and step with purpose to the music of life.

Great introspection, fantasy, and emotion in this write, Dh! I could see you dancing with your shadow late in the afternoon as the sun goes down. Beautifully written. Lydi**

Thank you so much, Lydi.
I always wanted to write inspiring poems, but I it seems so difficult for me now. I can't even make a couplet. But I realize that I don't have writer's block when my subject is melancholy or the like. Lol.
