Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Seguidilla: Mystery Dance

Soundless shadows on pavement:
What does the night bring?
Is love now just a mirage?
Why does my soul sing?
Reflections entrance,
allure in the dimmest light:
a mystery dance.

Lamplight reflects in puddles,
mirrors of my soul.
Opaque shadows on pavement,
now darkness the goal.
Reflections abstruse
underneath a glowing light,
my heart thus confused.

She loves me, she loves me not,
I now ask again.
The night provides no answers,
is my silent friend.
Where are my flowers
for the plucking to begin,
clarity's bowers?
