~ I dance alone

I dance alone 

     in unworldly spaces    'tween

                a darkly disenchanted spin

          divided in solitaire steps   

             to that place of off key symphonies, 

  once our strides harmoniously rhymed

    rhythm of blues tripped my feather'd shoes

        jazzy druthers sighing in sad tune'd sashays ,

          longing to prance in madness of elegant 

                             cross'd body gilded tones

  want to be your Terpsikhore once again

      feel your empowerment move my soul

         upon amber'd cloud nine perfect skies

Author's Note

'Terpsikhore' is the Muse of song & dancing.

I haven't read any of the reviews, but in light of how many there are, I wonder how many times you've been told that you never dance alone...well, whatever the case, I'm looking you in the eye right now and telling you, you will never dance alone Mrs.R, as long as I'm around. As Elton and Bernie said, sad songs say so much...xo

[Frieda P]

Yes they do, thanks so much Benji, but you do know I tend to lead right? ;-) xo

[kublakhan27]

Oh you have to lead if I'm involved Mrs.R, I'm lucky to be able to walk straight let alone dance with my clumsy feet ;) xo

[Frieda P]

Ha sounds like a plan then....I think we can figure out a way to make it work. ;) xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha Maybe Smirnoff is the answer ;) xo

[Frieda P]

I was thinking 'something' along those lines ;-) x

[kublakhan27]

Haha I'm thinking 'something' along those lines now too ;) x

[Michael Stevens]

I'm terrible at dancing; even dancing alone, I point and laugh quite a bit!

[Frieda P]

Ha at yourself? I thought you had Wini for that....thanks!

[Michael Stevens]

No, unfortunately, I don't need Winifred for that!

[A. Amos]

This is another elegant piece of write my friend and as far as dance alone is concern, hard to believe you will be dancing alone as many are waiting for one single sign to dance with you forever:)

[Frieda P]

Awh you flatterer you. ;-) Grazie mille Amos.

[A. Amos]

Di nente my friend

[Frieda P]

Please tell me you don't have two left feet too........

[A. Amos]

well I'm always ready, when and where is up to you?

[Frieda P]

Can you Tango on like Al?.........

[A. Amos]

Sure that is what I been doing all my life:)

[Frieda P]

Wooo will you marry me? ;-)

[A. Amos]

well i'm already married:) here we have problem:)

[Frieda P]

Oh man, the good ones always are. ;-)

[A. Amos]

Don't worry someone very special is out there searching the whole world for you and the day your words reach him he will be flying to you:)

[Frieda P]

Had my chance already...I give up ;-P I'm not doing that again.......

[A. Amos]

never give up on love, nothing complete you better than true love...

[Frieda P]

Nothing hurts that much either.....

[A. Amos]

In fact my book, 'The Unusual Love Stories' my first chapter is a love story about 74 year lady and 30 year old man... so the motto is love has no age, no boundaries it's just matter of meeting a soul who was truly born for you and then you will feel yes this is the man...I awaited all my life and he will not only love you but worship you like goddess...once you meet him remember my words. Thanks

[Frieda P]

Um hon that ain't love, that's waiting for her to croak and taking her money. ha ;-)

[A. Amos]

It hurts because you can be ready to understand the blessing of true love

[A. Amos]

Well that story is not about an ordinary love, the guy she meet he is not human and who calm he been loving her since she was eight year old...

[Frieda P]

Oh well that figures, now you tell me...I'm looking for someone that's what, a beast? I need to read this one.......

[A. Amos]

Ha ha ha God you are so funny, yea maybe a beast but only a bed:) joke apart love and death are invited guest and they can knock anytime...
Sure you will my dear

[Frieda P]

Ha I like the beast in bed part...I better go before I get myself in trouble haha ;-)

[A. Amos]

You deserve nothing but love my dear, have a great evening...

[Frieda P]

Thanks love, nice chatting with you, you're aces. :-)

[A. Amos]

honor and pleasure all mine, like wise

[Coyote Poetry]

Beautiful and amazing poetry. Your strong description create good visions and places. The dance is the last free form of movement for us to enjoy. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.
Coyote

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Coyote.

[Vidya Bacchus]

What is it with you people and all the dancing today ?

[Frieda P]

You got a problem with dancing pazzo? ;-P

[Vidya Bacchus]

Yeah on account of the two left feet lol

[Frieda P]

You can still dance.....you just need soul, your soul left footed too? ;-P

[Vidya Bacchus]

When I 'm drunk there is nothing on me that is left footed lol

[Frieda P]

Ha how would you even know? hah

[Vidya Bacchus]

Again with the logic.You know that is a very unattractive pair of sensible pants you are wearing lady lol

[Frieda P]

Ha hardly ever happens, give me a break ;-P

[Vidya Bacchus]

Ha it was bound to happen sooner or later .I hope it isn't catching lol

[Cryingkate]

I am confused who I am... You say that's you, but that's me in the photo and that's me all week when Gary is gone to work. It took all these years to find my Soul Mate and now we are separated for what? a Job?
I'd rather live off the land, go without things we don't need anyway and be in his arms then to be starved of love locked in this tower.
If it were not for my family here I would starve and death would overcome my Soul

[Frieda P]

Awh Connie, now you're gonna make me cry..............

[Cryingkate]

Sorry Freida, I meant it for good. I have my writer friends, I am not alone and then when I am, I go to the Secret Garden:-)

[Jack...]

A lone silhouette moves in feathery fashion to a low volume melody only heard by the one. Soft steps on lonely dance floors, mirrored ball illusions paint faux starlight in her eyes as she remembers the past, when they were in poetic harmony, when their words moved as one and hearts sung their every wished song.

My sweet Frieda, music fills your words and make my heart dance...sadly, alone.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Jack, always appreciate your kind words.

[redflutterby]

I dance alone... apt words to describe what's it like to grieve or feel a loss. Like the music and lyrics of life have ceased. What once made us feel lyrical and light now only leaves in in the dark....turning slowly to some sad plaintive sound. Beautiful hun...xo

[Frieda P]

You read me so well Red, thanks so much for your insightful review. xo

[Tina Louise UK]

Oh so beautifully somber... :) x

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Tia. :-) x
