Dance Through Dark Days

We danced like this A fit of madness, twirling around round as the beat drowned drowned out sounds of outside melodies unwanted tunes, I danced with you black dress of luxurious lace swept low Encasing legs perfectly porcelain Fanciful footwork-I led you-you led me In this symbiotic synchronicity The light cast down illuminate a striking angle of your face smiling, a twirl, hands in mine around the floor, intertwined hands in mine A room looked on...no notice, no matter Removed from their critique judgement, opinion.......all words of others They mingled into sounds of nothing noise lost in our self-made song Eyes locked to speak all unsaid I kissed your pouted lips instead our steps never un synched....... We waltzed on as the night made dawn The floor beneath was then sand The ceiling now sky...now you and I The makers of noise, a memory to forget Just an inner existence of two Each day we dance this way Making song and venue all the same Taking turns at leading step For which of us hears the music Will lead the other in a dance through it.....
