She Danced Poem by K B Manchanda

last Night I dreamt again
walking the countryside
holding your hand in
my hand
Wished always
dancing on the love notes
which my heart plays

Surprised a day
received a front row pass
of a ballad to be performed
by a dancer of class
and my heart danced
on my own tune

The day arrived
reached the Audi
But was sorted out
an odd man out
by the security

I tossed invitation
was given last row stand
and Dekho.......
A mermaid arrived
on the dice
and started to dance

Stood shocked
turned to stone
when I saw her face
It was the same hand
which once I embraced

To draw her attention
I shouted and cried
but in crowd, my voice died

She kept on dancing
with her heart and soul
I kept on waiting
On me if she ogles

Music came to a grinding halt
Audience stood in ovation
every one seemed enthralled

I smiled with my watery eyes
I preferred to vanish
decided not to eclipse the SUN

I dragged my body
as in Auditorium my soul I left
to brighten the world

I go back to
abyss of my body
without soul
