Dance Poems

If you die before me
I would jump down into your grave
and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.
...

To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
...

I could take the Harlem night
and wrap around you,
Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue busses,
...

In Hawaii they Hula
They Tango in Argentina
They Reggae in Jamaica
And they Rumba down in Cuba,
...

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
...

When I bring to you colored toys, my child,
I understand why there is such a play of colors on clouds, on water,
and why flowers are painted in tints
- -when I give colored toys to you, my child.
...

With two white roses on her breasts,
White candles at head and feet,
Dark Madonna of the grave she rests;
Lord Death has found her sweet.
...

Remember the 1340's? We were doing a dance called the Catapult.
You always wore brown, the color craze of the decade,
and I was draped in one of those capes that were popular,
the ones with unicorns and pomegranates in needlework.
...

Poems without readers
Are like lonely wallflowers
On the wide dance floor.
...

Then Almitra spoke again and said, 'And what of Marriage, master? '

And he answered saying:

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
...

Dance, dance!
With the muse of Africa;
Tap, tap!
With the rhythm of Africa;
...

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
...

But in the Wine-presses the human grapes sing not nor dance:
They howl and writhe in shoals of torment, in fierce flames consuming,
In chains of iron and in dungeons circled with ceaseless fires,
In pits and dens and shades of death, in shapes of torment and woe:
...

I walked through a Forest, beneath the hot noon,
On Etheline calling and calling!
One said: "She will hear you and come to you soon,
When the coolness, my brother, is falling."
...

Dance little baby, dance up high,
Never mind baby, mother is by;
Crow and caper, caper and crow,
There little baby, there you go;
...

Poets Dance in the heart of rhythms
Discussion spoken in the pen
Energy being tampered with in the music
Limitations rarely occur in audio-silence
...

A crippled child
Said, “How shall I dance?”
Let your heart dance
We said.
...

The flowers bloom all days and nights long
Spread sense enchanting sweet perfumes,
The butterflies fly on their colorful wings
And sit on the petals to suck secretions;
...

Maiden-poet, come with me
To the heaped up cairn of Maeve,
And there we'll dance a fairy dance
Upon a fairy's grave.
...

Dreams dance in the dark night,
dreams dance
in the moonlight,
dreams dance
...

We dance for laughter, a joyous sound
That lifts our spirits off the ground
With smiles on our faces, we twirl and spin
In this moment, our troubles thin

I am not a danseuse but a dance,
I am not a singer but a song,
I am not a poetess but a poem,

Dance, dance,
Dance you, dance you
Wherever stay you put
Dance, dance,
...

She has her,
pretty dress on,
Her hair let down,
Dance with her,

I promised you when you was in my belly
We'd have dance parties every morning in front of the telly,
And we'd dance to the music of my favorite shows
As we would dance away on my toes.

Day light comes walking on by singing songs as it glides about the way the world should be instead of what we keep toying around with and breaking.
Daylight moves between the clouds, spinning sunlight light into a cross body then full turn brilliant rays...

Home for a few brief hours between shifts in a world that offers little, I take off my shoes and go back, back in my mind to Africa, past the lashings and the
