(Glass violin
Please play for me.
Golden flute I hear,
Sing to me.)
I dance my fears away. The music starts slowly. Counting
1 2 3 4 toes two step four dip spin.
With every spin the music get louder
My mind fades away
Into the dark corner the corner where he is.
I don’t watch him, I don’t look at him
Yet I know who he is. He comes here everynight.
I don’t pay attention, and the music gets faster.
My heart beats louder.
The waltz comes, and music slows down. I leap off, awaiting my cue.
I peek through the curtains as I hear “I love you”
It’s the man, the man Ive always known, and yet to meet.
I start to get nervous, my fears and memories are kicking in,
I guess I will have to wait till tomorrow nights spin to talk to him.

Okay, its not my best, (I HATE ITS RYTHEM!) so I hate to be posting it up here, Please be honest, dont sugar coat.

Aw...don't hate it. (And don't go away either, I LOVE your username--it made me feel guilty about cleaning out my junk drawer.)

I loved the opening, and the imagery was just yummy. The flow could use some improvement, sure, but all in all I think was a fine offering.

and Welcome to Passions, where even sporks are wanted.

Yay! Sporks, I love sporks, haha. Welcome to pip!
Judging from this poem, Im glad you're here.
The imagery on this was wonderful, excellent job.
Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a long and enjoyable stay here.

We were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves?
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.

thankx. I had wanted to post replys, but i had to join, and i wantedto go ahead and post one. I agree, it does need work, I changed this about a million times. it started out as a dream, then as a music box ballerina. I dunno, I change everything at the last minute. I hope to post some of my others soon! thx

yeah. nice.

if you wanted to improve it further...

try adding a few hints to the reader, its good to leave so much to the imagination, but if the reader is too busy worrying about whats going on, theyll miss the yummy imagery!

Welcome!...and yes...we love sporks here!

I truly enjoyed this, just the way it is.
You had me feeling the movement of the
dance...the spinning...and then the
slowing... the all of it.

A bit of playing with the rhythm and flow
wouldn't hurt, but again... it's already a
great piece, and I'm glad you've shared it.

Again...welcome!...I hope to read lots more from you!
