Notes About The Poem

Dancing in the night

Take me in your arms.
Let us dance like there is no tomorrow.
Twirl me in the night
like when the music played…
like when we’d forget about our cares
and taste sweet freedom in the air…
like when we were convinced
nothing could ever come between us…
like when we were blissfully blind
to the cancer that would cut you in your prime.
