Ballroom

weight of shadows
cracked reflections

hunched, humbled
clenching forlorn wants

oblivion beseeches a cloak
of velvet
to hide within its folds
the truth

illusory venerations
blighted fantasies

of our

sweet minuet

Editing stage: 

Comments

rustle tapestry visions
a dream or morn
caught livid

velvet
rope
cord
carpet

the sky today
is Rayleighs blue
I feel softness in the hot
hand of sunlight
the sounds of city
pouring through the channels

memories hop from stone to
stone
admiring the golden depths
the pooled deep

swift turning vortices
the dance
the keywound
jewelry box

like lifes secret treasure
the grove
of shape and shadow

Oh dancing the two step across the page,
this has rhythm, and style, how I enjoyed it,
well written poem.

Love Ann.

but the reflection of the moon on water, lives." Kenzan.
