The Dance of Dances

For Miranda Hawley's Dance Of...Contest


Cleared from mistakes past ,he greets love reclaimed
His ardor fierce as dreams untethered swing.
Moments of anger, jealousy  now tamed:
Again, night's rhapsodies begin to
sing.

His woman alights, dressed in bridal
lace...
Her lover honoring a misty glance
Petal- kissed within their own world's 
embrace
Where flamed waltz glides...on dips of shadow- dance.

And male fingers cascade down through her
waist
Bronzed hands tracing her every hourglass curve,
Enamored by swaggers of season's wait; 
No other movement , their footsteps could swerve.

It would take whirls of lifetime to explain
This unrehearsed dance beneath moonlit rain.

Creative use of words dear nette, what stood out for me is the line “ Where flamed waltz glides...on dips of shadow- dance.” how beautifully youv woven synonymous descriptions there and the flow of this is beautiful! Pleasure reading your work! You have a way with words. Sending you light always

Your sonnet is beautiful, Nette. Your dance, set to beautiful music, goes from a sorrowful waltz to a passionate spin as you go from delighted to grief-stricken
