The Ball Room

As i stagger twoards two obsidian doors
I hear laughter inside AND PEOPLE DANCING TO A DEAD-MANS ATIRE
They open in quentcedental appluade
Playing to borad of A quire
I feel apasied and upheld by their faces and persuaded by confiting empty 
spaces
The whole room shifts with quarling competing steps
In obsinite triumphet rythum 
Im putrid in the mOral oblagation 
 i START TO PARRY ACOSSSED THE FLOOR LIKE BLESSING FORCLOSER
SING A SONG OF THE TROUBLE MIND 
AS I CIRCLE AROUND THE THE BALL ROOM THERE ACCEPTANCE IS KIND
A WOMEN SWAYS TORWARD ME FROM THE CENTER OF THE DANCE 
FLOOR     UPLIFTS ME IN A DANCEING STEP
LEAVING THE ROOM SPILLING IN EVNY AND THE SCENT OF A ROSE IN THE 
AIR 
MY SONG PLEASED THE UPGIVING MAN WHO STANDS NEAR  
AS THE DANCE TURNS IN THE BURNING OF THE LOVES DISIRE PLOWS INTO 
MY CHEST 
HOW MUCH WOULD WOULD IT MEAN TOO HER IF I COULD TEACH WRONG 
FROM RIGHT
