Premium Member When fate blows out my candle and the flame dances like a ballerina at dusk
When fate blows out my candle and the flame dances like a ballerina at dusk, I will listen to the secret whispers of the wind, spinning tales of long ago, Neither prayers will halt this departure, nor tears will tame The ephemeral gesture of destiny that has secretly woven the web that now envelops me. I will dedicate an...

midnight dancer the ballerina turned round and round upon her pointed toes to the gentle sound of the music box before the lid was closed i followed from a distance watching as she gathered cigarette butts and paper napkins the haze of yellowed streetlights reflected onto her teeth when she smiled through shattered memories her black wool coat was more than she needed and less than she wanted when the...

Arms outstretched, she glides like whispered air, Gossamer dreams sewn in each silent spin. In her stillness, storms of feeling flare, Lilting through Tchaikovsky's aching hymn. Ivory wings, her body bends, then flies, Tears in the toes, yet poise in every part— Yearning swan, both prisoner and art. An acrostic on boy: Born with wonder in his...

Premium Member Ballerina
To twirl like a dancer upon paper, And execute the swirling pirouettes, One needs to keep a balance of the pen; So step by step the stage is swept in strokes. Now left, now right, and two and four, the beat Pulses, pulls the body up to the brink, Draws back, recedes. Silent is the hall. Now, The ballpoint tip...

Premium Member URBAN BALLERINA-
On mine tippy-toes The door would open shut; The window was raised down; On my pinky-toes; Vertigo had me spinning so; Simultaneously spinning on ceiling and floor; Up above my head; I am a urban ballerina 3/27/25 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2024...

Chocolate pools for elegant eyes Language a tool devoid of lies Satin skin no flaws like a dream Warming voice speaks as if to sing A ballerina could move like that Much reflected in your laugh Humble and kind so delightful Past your prime but who would know Hair like a halo defying gravity air Flair I say so in the clothes...

Like a morning flower unfurling in beauty One ballerina blooms in a graceful ballet Of Shadows and light she flows in a delicate pastel dream yearning to greet her lover upon a wind stuck ridge of destiny She leaps into flight as the setting sun calls the whispering wind to lead her through the warm Summer night Topaz...

My Ballerina Shoes
I cross the river adjacent to sea to find a route to express my liberty but there were so many obstacles in the way, I had to kneel down on the ground and pray, and when the night has come, I had to change the rhythm that is sewed up in my gum,. I had a...

Premium Member Ballerina Lamp
She lit up my room. No one remembers her but me. Her grace underneath a lacy shade. She was ballerina-tall, one hand behind her head. Lavishly dressed next to a quintessential pic of Jesus and his sacred heart. This old slide of mine scratched and castigated, but I found her as if the doll was a cold case and I surveyed the scene. I eyed the evidence. She appeared when...

Dainty Ballerina
In silken shoes, she twirls upon the stage, A whisper of the wind, so light, so free, Her movements paint the air, a soft engage, With every leap, she writes a symphony. Dainty as petals kissed by morning dew, Delicate lines drawn in the evening light, A fleeting dream, with every turn she flew, A fleeting glimpse of heaven, pure delight. Her heart...

Premium Member The Ballerina
The Ballerina Out on a limb, so nimble and quick, and so beautiful and full of grace; a youthful ballerina who won’t quit in this fleeting moment when she is the ‘Star’ and relies on her heart’s adamant desire throughout this treacherous love affair on the stage as her heart engages in a jealousy’s rage (as time flies by) and she dies...
