This
Beat
Won't stop
Torturing
Me with undancing
Aching and longing for the night.
My
Aches
Are so
Torturous
I can't find a way
To tell you how I miss your dance.
When
I
Go to
The dances
I feel so apart
I cannot find the new beats here
You
Left
And I
Lost the beat
My dancing feet can't
Find the beats you stole away with you
When
You
Left with
My beats you
Took my liveliness
And kept me from finding my feet
I
Hate
How I
Can't find you
In this shadowy
Darkness; I can't bear your brightness
If
We
Can't touch
What we had
We cannot dance the
Serene sweep of grace and beauty
I
Need
Your touch
On my hands
And on my face--you
Are my guiding softness in the dark
Come
Back
To our
Strange waltzing
Where beauty is found
Where lovely balance quiets us
There
Is
A slow,
Feeling touch
From your arms on me
And loving gentleness from you
Your
Eyes
Draw me
Into you
With rapturous speed,
Your soft scent crushing my senses
With
A
Fluid
Glance at your
Eyes, framed in softness,
Gold-dusted eyelashes, lowered
Some-
Day
I will
Find my beat
And we can away
Into the night, starry-eyed
I
Will
Try to
Soldier on
Without your dancing
Embraces; your warmth consumes me
My
Eyes
Grow cold
Without your
Lively, dancing touch--
Losing you has embitter'd me.
This
Hurts
On a
Personal
Level; you didn't
Want me anymore--I've lost you.
- Title: The Dancer
- Artist: loki_098
- Description: I recently attended AGS (Arkansas Governor's School) in the area of English/Language Arts; we put together a literary magazine in under six weeks as a class project. This is something I wrote for the lit-mag in my Poetry class. The poem is written in a style called the "Fib," or Fibonacci, which counts the syllables of each line (1-1-2-3-5-8). I chose this format for its disjointed, choppy feel. Enjoy.
