The Dance Poem by Geno Flash

The Dance

He sees a gorgeous girl from across the room.
A sparkle in his eyes that he's never had before.
And as she slowly walked to the door.
He grabbed her hand and asked to dance once more.

And as they danced to the rhythm,
the smoke and lights were everywhere.
He stared into her eyes
and everybody just disappeared.

His palms are sweaty with knuckles turning white,
He holds her gently but still a little tight.
Nervous but enjoying every second of the night.
Clock ticking, the time to leave is coming way to soon.

She whipsers in his ear,
it's time to go.
And he whipers back
give me your name, I have to know.

He found love in the city lights.
And for a moment it was oh so bright.
So far gone, she's almost out of sight.
Dreams kissing his lips
will haunt him through the night.

This moment flew away so fast,
but somehow he knew it wouldn't last.
He just wanted to say that I love you,
but now this dance is through.
