    The Dance

    By Chris Miller

    Lyrical poem

    The Dance

     

    Story continues below advertisement

     

     

    Swan like patters swam through the room as the music played

    The pastel lights shined above and below the dance room

    The masked women ran as their dresses fluttered

    The masked men chased with a light hearted clutter

    Colors of spring splashed as the two genders collided

    Amazingly even in number

    None left out or alone

    Simply perfect rotations of follower like dresses turned like clock work

    The night was whimsically in tune to the soft mellow sounds of the violins in the orchestras

    Then,

    The tone of the dance suddenly sprang to different life as the clock struck twelve

    And the women of the land left the ball

    And returned to their homes.

      Loved it!!! Secretly (but not so secretly anymore) I’ve always kinda had that fantasy in my head. I wonder how the guys felt after the women were gone.
