Best Dancing Poems

I am the diamond
     that breathes 
     in your hands;
The fine lace to sway in
     breezes through windows
     as I crumble dedans la pirouette;
The cyclone, the earthquake,
     implosion of power
     in your arms.

when I was just a wee one
        my mom taught me to dance
            to start, I balanced on her toes
    but then steps more...

Sunlight sparkles on the shimmering pond
its mirror like surface smooth as silk
dragonflies dance across the water 
performing aerial acrobatics like a circus in the air

Water dipping on a fairground ferris wheel 
then plunging dramatically like a helicopter in free-fall
rising and falling skimming the water so...

Sometimes when I find myself adrift 
I transform into a dancing butterfly 
Escaping with imaginations and wanders off into Wonderland  
It's a world only I can glimpse and explore the hidden emotions of my being 

I am the dancing Butterfly

I don't need the world's...

Lost between the borders of heaven and hell,
confusion led to this story, one must tell.
Surrounded by a world full of violence,
I closed my eyes and took a vow of silence.

Wondering if this life was even real,
weird chills and shivers, one began to feel.
Suddenly a figure...

A raven sits alone, perched upon a tombstone,
humming an eerie tone, which is sombrely known.
This deadly treachery is disturbing my reverie.
A shadowy energy, ready for tragedy!
My soul tries to ignore this Grim Reaper at my door.
I've seen him before, now he's back like an eager...

Dancing once again with words,
As the two of us, embrace--
Another verse, another rhyme
Of waterfalls, and lace.

Romantic words in meter,
Although where's the gentle kiss?
Where's the touch and feel of it,
The tenderness, I miss?

Need I craft another verse, or two,
Of moon and leafy wood?
Should one appear, and...

The suns rays fade softly as 
daylight melts into night
and mysterious moonbeams 
glow even bigger 
as the moonlight stretching across
the waters mirrored surface

enchanting ambient beams 
dance upon the dark gray
water of the lake floating on 
the night's whispering breeze 
Touching on the waters 
edge kissing...

"In the absence of complication,
 trials and tribulations become distant memories.
  Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
  inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind."

 Simplicity flows in poetic verse
 weaving the flight of butterflies
 dancing on the wind,
 as ink flows on the...

filtered through cotton-colored clouds
  golden rays of sunlight emerge
trapping dancing-dewdrops in their beams
  brightening welcoming skies
    the meadow an artist's canvas

Freedom! Sensuously she spreads her wings, 
Floating in glorious glens
Now at one with nature

Clair de Lune filters 
with wings
through graceful waves of air
in every raindrop ping
creating our symphony

      spin me a room
      weave me a rainbow
      be my shining diamond

Where fancy's flowers bloom, I go,
and music starts to play.
And when sweet words of beauty flow,
I dip and and weave and sway. . . 

Then comes a white horse, my delight,
so I'll not be forlorn.
In step with him, I freely write.
I dance the unicorn....

Dancing In Horror With Fate In Blackest Abyss
Collaboration with Kurt Ravidas

I walk mountain storm, step out to cut deep its edge
forever tempting that fall from its narrow ledge,
in the midst of ravenous rage and great sorrows
this beseeching spirit begs for more tomorrows;
yet as silence echoes...

You come to me through breathing nuances of your soul
Pinpricks of laughter, tears, and excitement
Memories buried deep within
Trickles of blood
Moments of loss

My body warms
My heart expands
I am a conduit
To receive the gifts you bring

Dancing cells before my eyes
Seducing me with their movement
Our beings so blessed...
