Dancing - Inspired By Anne Lise Andresen

I miss dancing with my Daddy, I stepped upon his feet, I held to his legs and round and round in circles he danced with me. I miss dancing with my best friend. We let loose to the jungle beat. Our blood flowing faster as we turned to wild beasts. I miss dancing with my lover, His arms held me tight. I let go of all my tension as we danced beneath the moonlight. Now I dance within my dreams, as I can no other place. No one is here to dance with me, I feel without a place.

This poem is concise and very personal...I can imagine the intimacy it strives to communicate.--Ngoc

I salute the pertinence of your insight of dance tho' it's now like a solo dance but not in a hollow cave as you can hear the choruses of hello dancing round your poem. Cheers.

yearning such as this cannot go unattended for vey long Jay - I like the nostalgic & melancholic eroticism of this progression - reminds me of the legend of Lilith - with respect, J.A.B. %
