In Ballerina Stance - Repost

Amidst a cacophony of sounds, discordant they're not Through progressive ears we're internally sought We, well we await, we await black drapes Lights are our signal, to enjoy their create Strobes through mists, signal our time Silhouetted shadows appear, it's now just after nine In Ballerina stance, proud like she poses Arms outstretched like petals of roses She, Kim, of Touchstone effect Through their music her voice, such melodic select Prelude now generates as we await corded streams Receivers we are, appreciating their musical dreams Spotlights in sporadic dance, like silent sirens in the dark In seconds they soon touch, we the Blacktide no longer stark On this night in concert, we became one and all Strobe lights show their appreciation, bowing when shadows fall . Sadly Kim has had to take a break from the band due to illness, hence re-post.

Dino James, I like how you use the ballerina's silhouettes to somehow compare to the singers style on singing.. :) Your poem, shows not only the singer's elegance but also to a ballerina.. nice pair of couplets..warm hugs!//olive eloisa

I have to admit I loved writing this poem Oliz. Kim was the singer in one of my favourite bands 'Touchstone' sadly they have disbanded currently as she has been diagnosed with M.E. :( - We'll listen to their tracks one day soon. Love your comments, warm hugs back//Dino James xx

Evening to you Jan, thank you kindly. I re-posted this poem as Kim the lead singer is taking time out as it's revealed she's been suffering from M.E. for the last 5 years. Having this condition and touring is taking it's toll. Fingers crossed she'll be back in the future. Happy hugs to you, James xx
