Near Light

Picture - Hee Soe Photography

The spotlight was on, 

frozen at the center!

Of suppressed desires,

clinging on a pendulum,

 one ballet,

 one pirouette,

 one night

 one empty hall.

She stretched her untied shoes,

 tiptoeing,

 executing a riveting clock

The song on repeat,

 a mystical piano piece of lonesome Adagio

Nothing seemed to stop her this time.

It's passed 8, and she began to fall on a vinyl flooring.

It glistened with fading tears, she stood, with aching and longing.

No one was there 

but her soul and the scent of the desires in her veins,

 A battery,

 a swan,

 a giant leap,

 a coda, 

and she heard their applause, in midair...

She then 

collapsed gracefully,

 near light.

No one was there, 

that night.

I like it. This type of writing poems is closed to me...
