I remember this night so distinctively, I wrote this poem when I came home at 3am that night. I had this ball of energy racing through my body and my mind was in complete awe of the experience I had just lived, I just had to put pen to paper that night.
I hope you enjoy this poem as much as I did writing it.
Dancing under the stars
dancing.
dancing under the stars
and their fresh beginnings,
all whilst the moon and her beauty
is shining her glorious light,
there we were; dancing,
dancing in the night.
trying to ball dance,
hands on waist
and feet shoulder length apart,
there we were trying to mimic
one of life’s many treasures.
our feet wobbly
and minds scrambled
at the thought of ‘how',
we try our best to follow those
all to glorious ball dance routines.
yet little did i know,
that this attempt to simply dance,
would awaken this mind of mine…
stepping on each other
and not knowing the next moves,
we try to do what we do know;
a twirl in the night
and her body safely pressing into mine.
our hands entangling
and bodies colliding,
there i am
holding her,
holding her under the night sky.
un-twirling her from my body,
laughter is echoed through the night
and light is shun from our very bodies;
and with her hand in mine,
i grab her body
and let her body fall,
like those all too elegant
ballet dancers you see.
smiling from ear to ear,
and in absolute disbelief of what is happening right now;
that door in my mind falls from its hinges…
with the oceans waters flowing into the desert that i created.
she barges on in
with all this life and beauty;
and with all this life and beauty
flowing back home.
for it’s too much for my mind to comprehend.
it’s too much for me to understand and handle.
for it’s too much.
it’s too much…
and yet not enough at the same time…
pulling her back up into my arms,
i can’t control myself;
all i want to do is kiss her…
all i want to do is bring her into my body
and let our lips collide…
and so, we do just that.
lifting her body back into reality,
i’m awaiting her presence to regain consciousness…
and there,
there in that very moment,
our arms instinctively wrap around one another
and our lips collide.
the oceans waters settling,
and natures beauty
creating their home
like they once did;
the birds gliding through the sky,
the fish dancing in the waters presence,
the wildlife in general,
all coming into the light…
for this abandoned room in my mind
is no more.
with its once dusty floors,
abandoned halls,
empty rooms
and cobwebs;
she is finally,
no more…
for she has burst this door off its hinges
all at the touch of dancing in the night…
dancing under the stars
and in the moon’s presence;
dancing with her
at the end of a magical night.
my my,
i could do that with her for the rest of my life.
my my,
it feels as though a spark was ignited
and this flame has been created.
my my,
my mind finally caught up to my heart…
my my,
i think i’m falling in love
and i don’t know what to do.
