Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

A Dead Man Can Not Dance

I am long ago gone
Deep in the ground
Dancing days are long lived memories
I never could dance

Long ago though
I danced a love dance
With such a musical embrace
I was a taken away to the heavens

Love is no more
My heart danced out the door
Now I rest dead and underneath
All the dancing flowers

Casarah Nance May 19, 2014 at 11:16 PM Interesting. I envision a bunch of daisy's dancing very comically, not that your poem was suppose to evoke humor, but it did, odd. Arthur Vaso May 19, 2014 at 11:24 PM Well they were roses and daisy's and many others all dancing and laughing on top of me!!!!
