Premium Member In a room with heavy curtains, where shadows dance on walls like forgotten memories
In a room with heavy curtains, where shadows dance on walls like forgotten memories, It's not just about touches, nor bodies pressed together or rumpled sheets, It's about how you undressed me of layers of silence and fears with your hands like a gentle wind, In the bed that seemed a secret island, you taught me to be...

Flamingo Tango
Did you know that Flamingos love to tango? Three steps forward, one side step, Shake of the hips, they end the prep. Quick, quick, slow, gracefully slide, Flamingos dance as colorful as mango....

Start Dancing
Remember to warm up before you start dancing with your cat It'll be a late night, the concert won't end till around 10 so we'll start dancing sometime around... It was so strange, but one of my favourite memories, that this song should just compel us to leap up and start dancing We'll all get very very drunk,...

Premium Member We Danced at the Gas Station
This poem is featured on YouTube (The Convergence point with Dr. Ivan Edwards), bringing its words to life through spoken expression. A gas station on the edge of the city, Neon lights buzzing in the night, graffiti scrawled across walls, the hum of distant traffic our backdrop. The place was nothing special,...

Premium Member I watch the play of life on the stage of time, where shadows dance endlessly
I watch the play of life on the stage of time, where shadows dance endlessly, I see people without clothes and clothes without souls to wear them, Some dance with joy, others with sorrow, their steps are echoes of the world, Each moment brings laughter or tears, like a river flowing without end. In love, we see infinite colors,...

Premium Member The Paradiddle of Being - Book Three: Just Be
IX. In the ICU, machines create their own songo— ventilator, heart monitor, IV pump— forming an accidental orchestra the clutch of machinery holding time like a hi-hat choking its own decay. Underneath the electronic rhythms the human body maintains its own stubborn organic tempo— proving that even at the edge of existence we are fundamentally musical beings. The climate protestor's chant becomes a militant clave pattern— Save our planet!...

Premium Member I Dance All Night
I dance as soon as it is dusk, I dance all through the night, I dance in the darkness and I dance in the moon’s light. I dance to the beat of the stars, I dance to the rhythm of the moon, I dance until the morning breaks, Which always comes too soon. ...

Silent whispers
A Silent whisper hanging on the breath of the night. Another lost soul out of control in the pale moon light. A sliver of silver, the Autom shiver on a cool dark night. If you look over your shoulder it's right where I told you in the pale moon light. You're dancing with demons, I bet you never see them. on...

Play Me A Sad Song
Play me a song, but not just any tune. I'm not here to dance, or sing along in June. I don't need rhythms that make my heart leap high, Just give me notes that echo, and a melody that sighs. Play me not a hopeful melody. Hope is a promise dressed in disguise. It soothes for a moment, then slips away, Hurting...

Here comes a generation of substance. Trouble lies, her name is Constance Future of tomorrow caught with substance Imagine Janet, Judith, Tiktok for instance. Looking Hot another name for Misconduct. Tell Angela Martins I have her product. She ordered ring light for brightness With a future filled with darkness. Technology is sweeter than Candy, Sweeter than the candy I gave to Andy.

Ayodele Casel at the Joyce Theater
Of all the types of dance there are Across a world-wide map, My very favorite one, by far, Is any type of tap. There’s something ‘bout those quick short moves With that staccato sound That gets me into happy grooves When tap shoes are around. Today we saw the final show Of a two week tap dance run. The joy on stage produced a glow Which...
