Fragile Dance For Two

Inviting you into my heart was both a blessing and a curse did you not think ? to tell me in less reckless ways you lost yourself in this fragile dance for two Inside this tango of passion you dipped then dropped, where was the floor ? that swallowed me like a Spanish dancer with a Rose between her lips Idealistic player that you are we fitted right, so what sin did I commit? Truth be told the only one that I could think of was loving you too much Ignoring all your calls I tried to make a life without you in it but why oh why ? tackling all my dance moves you got me like a Flemish wounded poppet Indian giver that you are you loved then passed it on, so why was she ? tangerine lipped & coiffed congealed to your chest like a Minerva Goddess Ice cream words melted from the heat, castanets clapped & where were you ? tendencies often nothing more than Paso Doble moves for you, so you slid Inside your wealth like a hoof. A Hexabranchus man, did you not miss? the little doll you toyed with in Valencia while the festival of fire was going on ! August 27 2022 Sponsor Mark Toney Contest Name 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 13

Good Morning Mystic Rose. Hi. As someone who believes in love and dances and all that they stand for I loved your entry. I found this to be well thought out and executed. I very much enjoyed the stanza of ice cream and the metaphor. Thank you for sharing your poetic talent. Have a wonderful day. Blessings always. (smile)
