If It Were the Last Dance

A Tale of The Last Dance

                                      It was the last dance ever 
                                      Orders from the Kingdom Come 
                                      The one with the most golden crown
                                      A dancing queen announces 
                                      The last dance will be thrown 
                                      For all who want a chance
                                      At the grandest gala ever known
                                      The kind that never ends
                                      They’ll wear tap shoes and dance
                                      Hardwood floors stomped on 
                                      By flamenco’s fiery trends
                                      To the rhythmic guitar
                                      Bollywood prancers sing along
                                      To music of the sitar                
                                      Ballerina’s leggy, their silhouettes long
                                      Pivoting and pirouettes in all ten dens
                                      Symbols clicking in their hands
                                      Belly dancers do back bends
                                      Glittered shiny dresses twirl
                                      Day to night transcends
                                      The sky angels are prancing         
                                      We need not have any fears
                                      Feathery, white-pearled wings dancing
                                      A grand illusion it appears 
                                      When in heaven we are two
                                      You’ll play the flute of love
                                      My arms above my head
                                      Cries of happy tears
                                      If it were the last dance 
                                      I’d want to dance it with you
