The Dance (Terza Rima)

Unlike the last, tango to shelves of memory
Sod and topsoil proving its carpet
Grasp'd unto mine hand; bleeding feet gradually

High school, such elevation and regret
Hearts so close rhythm faltering susceptible
Revolv'd globe of luminence forget

This dance, this chance,this last ending so terrible
Tear apart now and cleanse the wounds so fresh
burn the claws and heal my holes make them bearable

Trying to reject the rain with this mesh
My umbrella is welcome to blow away
Along with her and ideas of the best

Dance has finally come over what to say
The last chance disipated no other way
Perhaps rememberance of another day
So we stay; dancing in the scarlet cafe.

Midway through writing this I forgot how many triples are in Terza Rima.  So it may be a bit screwed up.

I didn't like this one much fozzy, but then again you had 2 previous masterpieces to compare this one to. Anyway, not my flavor right here.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
