Then and Now {double Posting}

{Then} I welcome you all to the dance A place where souls are held in trance Destiny is our truest fate Taking your soul will feel great I was born unto this life To distribute pain and strife There is nothing you can do I shall have this dance with you As we dance across the floor I shall show you what destiny is for You can try with all your might I will have this dance tonight As we dance you should know I will crawl up in your soul So take my hand and join the dance I hold your soul in my trance No need to try and run away With your soul I shall play By the time I am through Nothing that you can do For I shall leave you like a shell As I take your soul with my spell There is nothing like a dark romance So will you please join the dance? {Now} Beauty can be rated by so many things Like the noise birds make as they sing Beauty is a flower growing from a seed It also is a baby tender with its needs If a person takes the time to look around There is so much beauty on this earth to be found Beauty can be a mountain all covered up with snow Or it can be firelight with its entrancing glow One thing in my life I have come to know No beauty is as beautiful as the beauty of the soul I posted this this way to show how much poetry has changed me. I guess now you understand why I wanted to bury them old poems. Sometimes like right now I just can't help but cry for my pain is very deep.
