witch by moonlight
she came
out tonight,
her breast
of youth
and glowing
charms
exposed
to the
ghost-white
threshold
of a
full moon
with soft
but sure
voice and
subtle hands,
her
incantations
whirled in
the
wide-eyed
mist,
dancing
like
an open
fire of
quivering
flames.

Dance night at the school gymnasium
He would go to those dances
He could never get the nerve to ask a girl to dance
Like he would really know what to do when he got out on the floor
He had tried dancing alone in his room and had gotten so embarrassed that he just had to stop
He watched men & woman dancing on TV & movies
They made it look so easy
Women were so mysterious and full of shit
He wouldn't have a clue what to say to one if he ever got the chance
The dances went by and he went to almost all of them
He would find the darkest part of the gym and watch them with his back...

Dance with Me *second in a series*
Dance with me on the knife edge of life,
cling to me on a razor's edge,
cleaving darkness and light,
Let us pirouette in the face of death,
choosing life with our very next steps,
should you stumble and miss your step,
should you fall, I will fall with you
and with our scars,
we will dance to the music of the stars,
changing the world forever
with the rhythm of our dreaming
cling to me on a razor's edge,
cleaving darkness and light,
Let us pirouette in the face of death,
choosing life with our very next steps,
should you stumble and miss your step,
should you fall, I will fall with you
and with our scars,
we will dance to the music of the stars,
changing the world forever
with the rhythm of our dreaming

Unlaced
A soirée of the misguided
A mingle of minds
Tellers of bold
And prancers of shine
Absorbing the vibe
In the melodic rile
Flowered headdresses
And seventies style
Flashy and garish
Fabrics in tweed
psychedelics a plenty
And so is the weed
Carefree with whimsy
Exhaling the earth
Pleasure the moments
Brimming with mirth
Dance as the wind blows
and treasure the while
Live by the wisdom
That leaven’s the aisle
Wash the path of all hindrance ...

Morning Dance At the Coffee Shop
Morning Dance At the Coffee Shop
Guitar curves
Of her ballerina legato movements
On an air for the G String
With the flowering in her steps
A firebird dance for the rites of spring
That shine in the morning light of her eyes
When her leotards are snug
As the halo of Venus
At the twinkle of dawn
With the cracking of her smile
Like a dark fissure in the ice
Of the Jovian moon, Europa

The Ballerina
Connie was only six when she was discovered gazing at a dead rat by Madame Jenny Taylor
Madame once assoluta at the Ivaninski's, informed the Linguses that the child was to be her pupil
Long years of study began in her ballet school above a row of shops
Connie first came before the public as a peasant girl in Giselle, ou Les Wilis, devised by Madame to display her students abilities
Her life was rather dull and monotonous
She became aware of what real ballet was when Madame took her to one of Anya Neeze innumerable farewell performances
Eventually she was...

hypnotize
mesmerizing, hypnotizing
bringing out the minxy
I feel the music, it washes over me
tiptoeing through the beats
until I start to move
thumping with the bass
it is intoxicating
moving in tempo with the rhythm
escalating in the moment
it feels good just to be
mania spins in and out
I love the feeling
tic toc and swing
pursuing the bars
climbing the notes
in beat with the music
I take a minute to enjoy myself
it may seem silly but sometimes its necessary
just to be happy

moonbeats & heartbeams
I just never know which voice is gonna show
when you give drunk me a pen
a little sass
a bit of passion
expression of frustration
some kinda combination
it all depends what's going on in my head
nights like tonight I'm a mess
all wild blood & restless bones
some kinda heady brew of adrenaline & emotion
I don't know if it's the drink or the moon
but I'm torn...
can't decide what I wanna do
I want my hands all over you
but I also feel the need to move
just this side of ferocious
I need both

lullaby gentlemen and goodbye maidens
in the chiming of the midnight hours
the white ghost of your eyes floats
in the West Wing Ballroom
everyone dances.
the wind dances in the hours and the touch
of the chime erases memories
destroys hopes and desires
causes some yawns.
the white ghost tries to get attention
of other no less ghosts
that float over the drinking cups
deaf ghosts of oblivion.
elegant cut dresses sparkling dust
of forgotten furniture leaning against the wall
all diners float around
like the white towels...
