A Dance Apart

This was written for someone that was once very special in my life.

A Dance Apart

 

We never got to dance did we,

yet somehow remembering

dancing in the moonlight

……..with you

feelings deep within

my heart playing a love song

 admitting my feelings

 ……..might have

finally released my soul

if only you'd spoken

in quiet whispers

the glow of your heart

might have unlocked mine

far beyond this body of flesh

deep within the soul

sensations might have

mingled in the wind

and we could become one

but for now we remain

just a dance apart

This is so sad sweet Rose and I know, because I know this feeling well. Wanting to say something, express feelings but holding back for reasons unknown...longing for that dance and hoping it is not the last. Your poem has taken me to a grassy spot along side of a still lake at night with a three quarter moon glistneing on the water. I can hear the music, I want to dance, but don't. Very sad indeed.

[SpeedyHobbit Armstrong]

This was really sad *tear* and really well-written! missed opportunities are the worst, and far more tragic than opportunities that were never there!

[shallimarRose]

Thank you Cher for stopping to read.. shallimarRose

[Rosaria_V]

Breathtaking, simply a beautiful read

[shallimarRose]

Thank you again Rosa.. xo

[Richie]

There have been many times when I have missed an opportunity, and I often wonder, what if? Would my life be any different if I hadn't taken that step, or if I had. We may never know, eh?

[shallimarRose]

Maybe not Richie.. You just have to be willing to open doors I guess but we leave them closed out of fear of regection perhaps.. . shallimarRose

[Richie]

Yes, perhaps. Or, maybe we fear what others may think?

[AmandaN]

Awww, don't cry Amanda.. Stepping stones to where we wind up perhaps. I would not change a thing. shallimarRose

Yes but then you have to stop and think If you had taken that dance all the wonderful other things you might have missed out on.. I would not change a thing if it would change the family I have now.. but still ... heavy sigh.. sometimes what if does cross my mind.. thank you Julie.. xo

[Keith]

What a gorgeous piece poetry describing a long lost love that never never managed to bloom. Do you know whether they know they feel the same? Did you you ever get a sign, was it too late? ....is there still a chance?

[shallimarRose]

I still talk to him every now and again. Yes he feels that way. I guess there is always that opening if I chose to walk through it. I am happily married and we are not the same people we were back then. Thank you for reading. xo shallimarRose

[Keith]

Ah yes, another beautiful story from the divine Miss ShallimarRose!

[Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chu..]

The poem is good. Words well arranged. I appreciated the last three line - Its really unfortunate.

[shallimarRose]

Thank you for taking the time to read Kingsley. shallimarRose

[Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chukwuebuka Benson]

You are welcome.

[Wildflower]

So true. Sometimes it can be just the tiniest thing holding us back or keeping us from being too risky.

[shallimarRose]

Thank you for reading.. Rose
