Dance Laugh Understand

Dance with me
In the pouring rain
Kiss me with wet lips
As the sky cries

Dance with me
But for a moment
Laugh with me
But for a second
Understand me
But for a lifetime

Laugh with me
Under the midnight sky
As joy rises
Circling the clouds

Dance with me
But for a moment
Laugh with me
But for a second
Understand me
But for a lifetime

Understand me
Deep within your heart
Grasp who I am in your bones
Please don't make me feel so alone

This reads like a passionate love song, with the words flowing in harmony and the repetition giving resonance to the theme. I love the delicate simplicity in this piece as well as your unique descriptions in how they express the essence of your lover. Your first stanza, with its imagery (the "sky crying" ... ahhh lovely) sets the ambience perfectly, and I love how you keep that same sense of passion and wonder throughout.
Though (a minor critique) I think it would read smoother if only the lines that began new sentences were capitalized (as opposed to every line), the message still bleeds through with eloquence and clarity. This was penned with a heavenly touch.

Lovely Poetic verse Loved reading your thoughts and how your beautiful mind works.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. Many times my mind is drifting off in day dreams.

[Aiza E.M. Bridge]

I love the rhythm in this.

And the pleading for a further connection is very relatable. I think we all have longed for someone to reach us, to understand us more deeply.

Very well done.

[Poetic Beauty]

Yes I do believe we all have

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i need all these things...someone to laugh with , to cry with , to share moments with...but most of all someone to understand me for a lifetime....to accept all sides of me...i love the line "grasp who i am in your bones"

those calcium deposits can be rich with love.

You got the whole idea. We need someone who understands us deep inside.

Laugh with me /// But for a second /// Understand me /// But for a lifetime ...

.. quite the lines you've come up with. It's must to arrange some "understanding" especially when it comes to "love" -- the faithfulness of trust. It's ev'n the understanding that stands the trust of one's life, and it's love that stands the partner for lifetime. Such beauty of words you've poured down in words. Enjoyed reading this. After a very long span of time, i read something valuable and certainly.. quite pleasant as well.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. The last stanza is because I feel as if my boyfriend doesn't understand me sometimes and really at the end of the day that's all that want.

Without fighting & cliches in love-ship, there's no love-relations. Sometimes, it's okay not to understand each other but live... 'em to the fullest. It's okay to ignore one's scars, sometimes, but not always. He'll understand you... with time, if he truly loves you by all his means. So chillax. Enjoy the moment he brings to your beautiful love to make it more beautiful living. Cheers!

We all long to be loved, cherished, understood.
However, if you go by the writing published on this site, very few find a true love.
It seems unhappiness is a far better pal to the poet than happy.
Very well written Beauty

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you for the kind words. Yes long lasting love is hard to find. I found my soulmate yet alas we are not together.

[Gee]

Well beauty they'll be plenty more busses to ride on, perhaps one of these will take you on your life's journey

[Poetic Beauty]

I in a five year relationship and I love him but trust me it's not the same. But honestly I'm happy most of the time.

[Gee]

Happy is good......

[Poetic Beauty]

It is good. 🙂

[Tom]

The thrills of love bring vivacity and an exuberance for life that can be spontaneous or pragmatic but either way, an opportunity that must be seized upon!

A finely penned, romantic entreat!

[Poetic Beauty]
