Dance Poem by Kivi Kocher

The wedding party is
At full swing
We both were invited
Separately without saying a thing
Or giving us a hint or a ring
My beloved at table one
With her turn the light on
Her beautiful face shun
She moved away the hair on the eye
Both eyes as blue as sky
She gave me a wink
The eye contact made me think
We spoke silently
Deep inside feelings arose briskly
Burning heart emitted heating
The drums started beating
The music was slow and nice
The words were melting ice
It was our love song
Revitalised memories so strong
I slowly approached
Asked fancy dancing
As my hand touched hers
Feelings were bouncing
One hand raised her body so slender
The other caressed her waist so tender
On my shoulder her head rested
On my chest the long blond hair cascaded
The wonderful cent emerged
From under-ears and earring
I felt the moisture of her hand
She blushed but dancing she was daring
I danced her and moved her
Among the crowd step by step
With extra care not to curb
I was getting hot at the start
When I said you are
The only one in this heart
Feelings were sky high
For the blue eyes I could die
The moisture of both hands was mixed
The flames from both hearts kissed
She closed her eyes and
Slowly shook her slim body
Remembered the day of our study
We went to another world
The world of lovers and love
Pure hearts like dove
Honesty and openness
Truth and togetherness
Help and mutual respect
Understanding and all aspect
The world of Mame Alan and Zin
The world of Farhad and Shireen
The world of Romeo and Juliet
Where we didn’t care about any threat
The music reached the last beat
The lady jumped awake so sweet
She raised the comb-teeth-like eyelashes
The light of her eyes changed
The heart beat to bashes
Lightened the surroundings
Like the mist on the Sea of Wan
Withdraw to the mountain of Sipan
Because of the sunny morning of May
Could no longer stay
The deep blue sea of her eyes revealed
The mist and mystery cleared
Sighs from the depth of her chest
Throw arrows at my heart strait
Injured in the sea of love I sank
She said she wants again to hold my hand
To dance with me one more time
With the same band
To put the ring I gave her first
On another finger another hand
At that moment I became dizzy
Like a drunk like a crazy
I couldn’t tell was it true?
Or was I out of mind
Or was it a dream
That I will soon wake up and never find
Or was it a wall built on snow
That will melt away
Unstable and will never stay
Or is it the love as strong as
China wall of rocks never collapse
Never disappears never need any maps
Never get weak never has any traps
I took out the wedding ring
Hold her finger and said let me sing
This is what unifies our halved heart
From my life it will never depart
I promise you to keep this ring
As a symbol of our love
Asking heaven from above
Help me to keep it for
Your beautiful image in my eye
For the sweet days with you
By the sea on a sunny day and clear sky
For the tender feelings for you
As strong as ever till I die
I will keep it until last beat of my heart
Until my body is cold
Until mind is clear of thought
Until last word on my lips
Until the cardio device by my bed blips
The groom looked at us
Without making any fuss
Hold his bride’s hand and left dancing
Said they deserve my wedding and embracing
Don’t you all see?
How deeply in love they are
They have come from long way and far
Her eyes are arrows
His eyebrows are their arch
With no sorrows
He is handsome like basil stem
She is the cent and the flower at the end
His face is a blossoming rose
Hers is the nectar in the middle flows
Her eyes as blue as the sea
His are the ship sailing blindfolded
But still see
His lips are honey
Hers are the actual beehive and crony
Their togetherness is our pride
We embrace them with hands open wide
Our wedding is their present
The party is pleasant
The party is pleasant
