dancing 'neath the moon

Tonight I'm going to burn a bridge
With blaze that burns so bright
I'll revel in destructive power
As flames devour the night

Naked in the firelight,
Beneath moon's clouded gaze,
My anger, rage, and pain I'll dance
With toes in phosphorescent waves

I'll offer tears to sister stars
And stretch up to the sky
To feel the darkness' warm embrace
Hear moon's sweet lullabye

And as the anger dissipates,
leaving only sorrow's weeping,
I'll curl amongst dewed clover
and resign myself to sleeping

Tomorrow I will burn this bridge,
My rage and pain to sate,
But for tonight - just one more night
I think that I shall wait.

Sheli, I have burned many of those bridges myself

and some, I really put off for a long time

Love this poem... it touched a deep piece of me I can certainly relate to well

It's hard to burn those bridges sometimes. Even knowing that they -should- be burned doesn't make building the fire any easier

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I love knowing that my writing touches even one person, it makes the sharing worthwhile

I think you show wisdom in waiting too. Yep, I do. I love this poem.
