Dark Euphoria TrimericCan you feel heels and laughter spin,
rotating and dizzy on scattered dots?
Throwback beat in the air is blasting
music and bodies stay in circulation.
Rotating and dizzy on scattered dots,
nothing can compare to this dance.
Melodic transfusion revitalizes the soul.
Throwback beat in the air is blasting,
a snapshot of every couple before them.
Longing electrifies those neon...

Liars spend their days
touting insincerity
oozing insecurity
Do they stand a chance
when their tongues
no longer dance

Under the brass sky of Iashy city, our steps dance in the nightUnder the brass sky of Iashy city, our steps dance in the night,
Through dusty streets where old buildings hide forgotten stories,
With beer mugs like ephemeral treasures in hands that tremble,
Between reality and dream, between stage and whispers of the gentle wind.
We justify ourselves with a single sonnet floating among the lit stars,
With sweet madness sparking...

A Snail's ChancesMay I have the pleasure of this dance?
I hope I have a better chance
than the sliding snail you see and stalk,
slowly slinking on the sidewalk....

Like David, I Dance Undignified For You GodI will dance before You, O Lord,
Not with the steps of men,
But with the fire of the Spirit burning in my bones.
I will move without rhythm,
I will leap without pattern,
For my praise is not for show
It is for You alone, my God and King.
I will dance as one set free,
As one who remembers the pit...

Tai One On
I wasn't long in Hong Kong,
before I saw my first tai chi,
and it gave me the strangest notion,
the exercisers, advancing all in a row,
were line dancing in slow motion.
They put their left hand in,
right hand out,
in, out, in, out,
waved them all about
and, set to soothing, soulful music,
the male practitioners suggestively sang,
"If you show me your...

Summer Funny Limerick
The Fourth of July is almost here,
it will be hot but will it be clear?
Fireworks made me pee my pants,
all wet but I will still dance.
Pretty colors do not run in fear....

Dancing with Pigeons in Summertime
Summer dazed in — it's dancing time!
Fred buffed his boots to dazzle-shine.
With a leap and a spin,
He clicked heels with a bin,
Rattling pigeons rapping in line....

Dance with me
Life might have taken away my ability to dance
But it didn't take out my rhythm
That's why even on my chair
I'm all groovy and fully turned up
I might not hold your hand and spin you around
But I can buy you lovely dresses
So that as you pirouette
It rolls around you like the cupcake you are
I might...

Booty ShakersHe said 'owwww'
as she said 'ouchhh'.
On a Saturday night.
'Cause back in the day they could hit the dance floor,
leaving others grinning , taking notes of their steppin' toes.
As the effortless sway from side to side,
made them smile,
music just right,
jamming throughout the night.
The DJ was spinning records from the beginning,
to the ending,...

The girl who loved to danceFor her it was a quiet act of rebellion
To the world it was just a girl dancing
The smile on her face magnetic
The way she swung her hips mesmerising
Her rhythm hypnotising
She was proud of herself for letting go
Of choosing her freedom
Instead of being trapped in a room full of her own...
