Put Your Dance Shoes On

Put on your dance shoes, 
come take my hand,
We’ll Waltz through dreams in a ballroom grand.

Tango! calls with a fiery chase,
Two hearts meet in a bold embrace.

Salsa! spins in the tropic glow,
fast feet flash as the trade winds blow.

Rumba! sways with a warm desire,
slow steps burn in a tender fire.

Foxtrot! smooth as a silver stream,
cool

Its Easy To Dance Through

 Its easy to dance through
when the hole has broken whole,
I'm shiny holding a fish's tank
nothing rusty but winding the crank.
I can't be the cracked whole of you,
bad enough a demon sold his soul,
I wish for a warmth of fiery coal
but his number is upon my coat
and his grips are throttling throat.
It so easy to

Thought of the day

when was the last time we danced in the rain ~
oh, how we wish to be a child again

sexy entertainers

the tent was on fire with enthusiasm
men’s imaginations inflamed by the sexy entertainers
I was incredibly proud of my mother the lead dancer
and her sister, Aunt Liv, the choreographer

A Vision Soon Unseen

A wonderland awaits,
For all who dare to enter,
To fall down through the ground,
And to the world surrender. 
There anything can dare to pounce,
Or growl or prowl or prance,
Or break out in black pustules,
Spinning in a dance. 

A world unsure in peachy fuzz,
Airs fizzing effervescent,
Adds new dimensions, onion layers,
A moon of seven crescents.

Down falls the leaded

BLESSED DANCE

Outdoors
Under the skies
Appreciation above
Rhythm in honor
Uplift from the Kingdom
Blessed Assurance
A reason to dance
Heaven’s lookout
Where there is a dance comes a praising shout
Joyful experience
Spiritual influence
Dance of song
The blessings that come along
Chosen to get
No regret
Heaven sent.

Dance with the Devil

Lost souls would amount...all the scrolls would say
Were held in account...there on Judgement Day
Now dues must be paid...for their mortal sins
God's mercy would fade...as the Devil wins

Chorus: Dum dee dee dum, dee dum dee
Dum dee dee dum, Dance with the Devil 
Dum dee dee dum, dee dum dee
Dum dee dee dum, Dance with the Devil

Calypso Rain

Three minutes to dance,
a quick trip to the islands.
Sweet calypso rain.

EN POINTE

EN POINTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Upon a dimly lit state she stands
en pointe, defying gravity.
Time pauses, suspended like
dust motes dancing in the spotlight.

She holds the moment 
like a fragile glass ornament, 
balancing herself on the edge 
between her grace and strength.

What thoughts swirl in her mind,
as the audience holds its breath?
Does she ponder the road that led her here,

The Calico Box Crab Theme

I heard the calico box crab theme
as I nestled warmly by a trout-filled stream.
I saw the hare and tortoise dance,
and wondered if it was romance,
or just an addled dream.

Dance Across the Moon

Love is sometimes subtle 
like a dance across the moon 
or a cool evening’s breeze lit by stars. 

We smile, and then we turn away- 
these modest games we seem to play 
like Venus calling silently to Mars. 

“Come hither,” says a sultry look, 
a statement that a lover took 
as seed of an emotion

Hiku: shadows dance alone

chromatic undulations

she hung her sari out
on a hilltop clothesline

wisps of colours to the sun
playful lengths of silk
toying with the breeze 
flowing swaying dancing
no fanfare no introduction no applause

just the unexpected gift
of an exquisite peaceful moment
of breathtaking beauty
on a sunny april morning
