The Dance Poem by Zachary Clark

Dancing around and around,
Swirling, dipping
Turning, twirling

Seeing nothing,
Her in my eyes,
Her deep green eyes
Holding me close

If I could,
I would never
Let her go

She is strong,
Free as a soaring bird,
I will always,
Let her be free

I just am watching
Bored out of my mind,
Bored beyond reason
Bounding after her,

Hoping, waiting
Then rejoicing,
As again she turns around
Comes back to me
She is my only form of fun,

As she looks and smiles
I cannot but help smile back,
She winks and it tingles my spine,

She loves the sounds
The rhythms the chymes,
Vibrations of music

As we dance we get lost
Time just flows,
Fast past us
We pay no attention,

We just dance on faster,
We dance


LONGER




HARDER








WIDER
















FARTHER


















All our free time
We dance away,

If she got sick
I would cure her,

If she were sad
I would make her smile,

If she were bald
I'd shave my head,

I love her
So I tell her,

The music plays
Never stopping,

She steps back
She slowly walks away,

The music continues,
The happy music sad,

I can't beg her to stay,
She is free,
I can't hold her
She goes where she wants,

The music plays on and on,
The slow trembling notes,

I slide into darkness
For she has not come back,






I cry but only for a second
I hear a voice,

She says,
'If you miss me,
Remember the good.
The fond moments
They last longer,
Be there longer
Be cherished longer,
When I am gone.'

The darkness crawled away,
I saw the light again
It was bright,
The music still played
Both happy and sad,
I felt for the first time,

























Calm

























For we were dancing
Swirling, twirling
The rest of the world gone,
I saw only her eyes
As she stared right at me,

Again we were dancing
The time drifting away,
She was my very first love
I held her close,

I danced with her
For as long as I dared,
Before she came to her senses
When she would walk away,

I will always remember her
For she was only good,
I will always love her
But I will remember,
Remember her most for her words,

Those lovely little words,
The words that gave me

























PEACE...
