A Dance Apart

This was written for someone that was once very special in my life.

A Dance Apart

 

We never got to dance did we,

yet somehow remembering

dancing in the moonlight

……..with you

feelings deep within

my heart playing a love song

 admitting my feelings

 ……..might have

finally released my soul

if only you'd spoken

in quiet whispers

the glow of your heart

might have unlocked mine

far beyond this body of flesh

deep within the soul

sensations might have

mingled in the wind

and we could become one

but for now we remain

just a dance apart

This is so sad sweet Rose and I know, because I know this feeling well. Wanting to say something, express feelings but holding back for reasons unknown...longing for that dance and hoping it is not the last. Your poem has taken me to a grassy spot along side of a still lake at night with a three quarter moon glistneing on the water. I can hear the music, I want to dance, but don't. Very sad indeed.

"A Dance Apart" is a heartbreaking piece of a love lost. My favorite lines are:
far beyond this body of flesh
deep within the soul
sensations might have
mingled in the wind

I enjoyed reading this. :x

could have and might have...but we just never danced together..neither was able to approach the other....such a shame...the relationship that could have been beneficial to both.

I liked that "sensations might have / mingled with the wind" made me feel like blowing a kiss to a friend far far away... thanks for this SR...---~~redzone
