Dan Cwiak Poet Quatrain

Finish With a Deep Breath

Inhale deeply the sweet aromas of the air
As you follow her religiously down the stair.
And when you enter her cave with true heart
You will never again want to part.

Close your eyes and see her more clearly
As your heart will pull her to you more dearly.
Reach out to her to take her by the hand
No words needed, for the dance is planned.

Her waist you gently touch as she takes her stance
Waiting for your lead, as you begin the dance.
Nonstop you whirl her around the floor
A couple gliding gracefully, enticing the other's step even more.

Walking back to a table where Champagne awaits
Remembering still, her gently swayed gaits.
Your glasses clink, your hearts pounding as both take a sip
A gasp of delight, thankful for the respite and this little nip.

Breathe again, Inhaling deeply.

Funom Makama March 5, 2016 at 11:17 AM Wonderful! Wonderful! So so so wonderful.... Dan Cwiak March 7, 2016 at 4:35 PM Thank you, Funom. I thought only of the times that I enjoyed the dance and partner, that I had to write this to fulfill the criteria of the contest. I thought it would do better, but apparently some the judges didn't think it was worthy of a mention. Thanks for stopping to read and your comments.

Robert Lindley January 11, 2016 at 7:25 PM This is a fine jewel my friends. Smooth all the way and I can not see a difference in the writing . Its as if one poet wrote it all and that takes great talent from both writers to pull off.A7 Dan Cwiak January 12, 2016 at 1:31 PM Thank you, Robert. I appreciate your kind comments.
