Poem Title:
Poem
He entered the dance hall, clad in pure white I sat in my corner, far away from the light Bodies swayed slowly, the lights were subdued The wine had been flowing and mellowed the mood. This stranger intrigued me, he seemed out of place One moment I saw him and then he was gone I was right after all, he did not stay long. His appearance was sudden, my heart skipped a beat I cringed as I sat there, saw the smirks and the stares - did the stranger not know I'm a harlot, beware! He smiled oh so gently and asked me to dance I mumbled no thank you, dropped my eyes to the ground. In a very short time he would hear who I am a woman called Scarlet seen mostly at night, the affection men gave me was kept out of sight. I sensed the stranger was still there, looked up and then he bowed politely Before I knew it, curtsying slightly, I took his hand with a timid smile. Not once did He speak when we started to dance but His eyes were so piercing; I knew He saw through me. Then the scales on my eyes fell away and I cried For my Partner was God, He had captured my heart. My Beloved taught me His celestial dance, I stumbled a bit, fell over my feet But soon I learnt how and just followed His lead Swirling and twirling the ballroom was ours I was dancing with God! I was Belle of the ball… The music stopped playing, still I swirled and I twirled then breathless I realised the Stranger had gone, yet it mattered not, for this dance with God would forever be cherished as I made a new start.
