Waltz of a Lunatic

I like to dance, and as they say "My insanity preceeds me".

 

Welcome to my ballroom floor

I extend my hand to you

I bring you close to me

I take you out of your reality

Taking you into my world

Feel safe yet?  The dance is about to begin

I spin you where you stand

Disorientating you

I take away your sight

I let you see only me, but wait

I call forth the spot light to be placed on you

I hide behind you in the shadows

I say, this is your dance now

I watch, and wait for you

You hesitate, but I insist

You must dance, and I must hide

You will dance for me now

And I will show you the moves

There is no freedom in a dance

One must lead, I leave it to you

Show me your moves, but the ones I taught

Show me that you learned from me

Do this and I am yours

Dance and I will follow

This is your show now

I am only the spectator

Oh, I curtsy to you dear galahad in thanks for the dance ...

So you are a leader in the shadow ... hmmmm?!

A wonderful metaphor about life's circumstances.

These lines are a clear contradiction in itself! Like life often is!

You give away quite a lot of yourself ...

A great, insightful and well written piece. I love the perspective you gave it! Your lines are well choosen, each and every single one says so much, and it has an easy flow.

Excellent job!

Well written. Brings scenes of the Phantom of the opera to my mind. Look forward to seeing more

so passive observer, I see. that was a good poem about how one can manipulate the other when the other one is wanting, so we are manipulated by media, industries, governments, religions... all is a dance of deceit. isn't it? that's why I dance how I like to. .. great write.

very nice, I love the air of mistery it emits. Angel Bird said it�s a metaphor of life, well I thinks it is a metaphor... of what I am not sure. But it leaves me thinking...

Very nice. A real gentleman, giving the lady the spot light. Mkae her feel comfortable first. Nicely crafted and expressed.
