All along I danced

Inspired by reading Sylvia Plath today

All along I danced

while orchids fell sad

between spaces in cultured dreams,

lined parallel in time with my heartbeat

 

Drowsy became the sky

when moon shadow eyelids descended,

slowly returning the light

to the sealed envelope of horizons blushing

 

Acidic melodies sung

in star traced gaps

breathe desolate harmonies,

and the wind wails lonely in an arched flow

 

Meadowlarks hide, shamed by feathered tendencies,

muffling sighed echoes of love

fading well beyond each broken stone, while

all along I danced

smile though your heart is aching? dance though your feet are breaking? Never let them see you sweat? never let them see you cry? realize you are in love after a long dry spell and dance for the sheer joy of it then fall down for the pure agony of what that implies? yeah we've been there too.
