Poem: Dance With Me.

Dance With Me, written 7/1/2021. Inspired by dance scenes in period movies.

Usually these parties are dull, but not tonight. Something is different, my energy taunt with need. The music swells, strings fast and dramatic. The swish of long gowns and tailcoats, a clink of precious gems set in gold.

A large warm hand on my waist, my hand held like a priceless treasure.

Eyes meet wide with longing, a conversation said with no words. Breath quick but soft.


In public we can't… I want to… later Dear…


On and on we go, swinging in circles around the room like a bird fluttering in a cage. Confined by social rules but not for long. 

Whispers carry but we care not, lost in our own world of connection. 


Do we hate? Do we love? Are they one in the same? Our feelings bind us regardless.
