Only the Dancer

By evangelina

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

you see her twirling in the garden   of gardenias, becoming a dancer that gets   lost in the silent blue-green skies.   her eyes are closed to embrace the bright day   of the sun, as you wish you could be by her side     as the one   who holds her hand     as her image thrills you to the   very existence in which you stand.   breathless emotion begins to rush through     both bodies in a different kind of bliss   and yet both of them longing for     something they can't see rising to the moment.   waiting for something so much more. her rythym begins to slow   and you wonder why she looks so frightened   as she begins to fall among the silky touch   of what has surrounded her with much flavor.   you run to her, hoping to pick her up   from the depths that she has fallen to.   eyes brimming with tears, as you realize it's too late,     with only a wish to rewind and take a chance at     beating Fate with it's own thread.   one gentle, feather-like kiss with her last...breath.   this lovely dancer, who has taken your soul with her,     has become an eternal drink of death.describes a painting of mine Written March 27th, 2002 © on Mar 27 2002 06:27 AM PST   0 • 1
