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.
...

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

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

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.
...

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

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

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.
...

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:
...

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 little black thing in the snow,
Crying 'weep! weep! ' in notes of woe!
'Where are thy father and mother? Say! '-
'They are both gone up to the church to pray.
...

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;
...

My little heart, my little girl.
Dance with Daddy; dance, my pearl.
Hold my hand; dance with feet.
Sing a little song; dance with beat.
...

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."
...

As we dance the dance of life…as with each new day all the world's dancers are convening…have you ever wondered what it is…that gives our dance its meaning?

I've had the good fortune to dance in many places and although I've never been to France…I'm pretty sure the meaning of the dance isn't found in where I dance.
...

Some dance for reality
Some dance for fun
Some dance for or with a friend
Some dance with everyone
...

Dance dance dance men dance,
Dance with air and water dance.
Dance dance dance men dance,
Dance with the earth and the moon dance.
...

Music makes many shake head, hands, legs and body to dance in fun or joy;
Even melodious song makes to shake gently as if accepting the theme well;
But dance is simply to say is shaking of whole body according to music and song;
Dance certainly gives a sense of relief from tension ridden world we are living in!
...

Dance

Dance is the dynamic
expression Of Life,
...

Vanilla Coke & Pick 'n' Mix
Show me one of those magic tricks
Then I'll take you right by the hips
And dance, & dance, & dance 'til the mourning comes!
...

Fling-swing!
At every turn
Earthlings dance frug
with frog jumps, step taps in Irish,
...

Mohiniattam -
The dance of the enchantress
The dance of God's own country,
The dance of the palm fringed back waters,
...

Dance life dance,
Dance, dance.

Here is the eternity
...

A vast difference there is between life and dance in the world;
Best performance of a dance is possible to do by one who loves it;
Care is much needed to live life against odds to go on till end;
Dance is balancing movements unlike balancing vagaries of life!
