Coiled up in this realm
Waiting for my cue
You play the first note
And the lid to my dwelling pops off
Revealing my dancing soul
Slithering up to the sky
I seem in a trance
As my decieving body waves
Lips grace the sky
You stop your playing
Slowly I retreat to my home
And wait for the next show

"Sorry I`m not home right now. I`m walkin in the spiderwebs so leave a message and I`ll call you back."

I'd have to say this is one of your best so far.  I love the extended metaphor, how you never directly alluded to its meaning keeps an air of mystery about it.  You also worded this well and did a good job avoiding cliches and repeating words too many times.  I like some of your word choices, like "decieving body..." thought that one was especially creative.

Very good work, Allison.  I'd like to see more of this sort of poem from you.
