Shadows Dancing In a Moonless Night

Is our love a dance macabre? 
A dilly dallying with death? 
Or a mystic encounter of unabated love? 
Will it last?  Will it end? 
So many questions left unanswered, 
So many uncertainties attested, 
All cumulative in a death wish 
As emotions run devilishly amok. 
  
My soul screams with this unpredictability, 
Its echoes rampage through my veins, 
As bubbling blood courses through 
Twisted arteries, through havoc and chaos. 
Is it the folly of chained love?  
The unearthly silence of togetherness? 
  
My lips pronounce your name but no one answers. 
I realize my questions will never be answered. 
Our togetherness is but a charade, 
Shadows dancing in a moonless night. 
Your allure is just too much to bear, 
I dare keep it no more 
So let our ways head into different tracks. 
Henceforth I'll dance alone. 
A dance macabre.

Bj Legros Kelley June 10, 2023 at 12:46 PM This is melancholy, sad, and so filled with mixed emotions Victor. I am sorry I didn't see this poem before, an amazing write. I have been so busy, and today is no different, barely having time to be home even on Saturday, but hoping to catch up on my friend's poetry. I love this one, it's sad, but a perfect description of a messed up relationship, and the feelings of one entangled in such a sad situation.

It is poetry in every fashion with all elements attached including the emotive factor. Truly. Read back your own words and you will see the worth of this entry. You are amazing. Have a beautiful day. Keep poetry within your heart and soul. Love and Blessings always. (smile)
