She dances alone… (Photo credit: Neogene)
I’m dancing all alone
To sleepy syncopation
Every slide and step just seems
A singular innovation
The sweep of saxophone
And I’m dreaming of the night
I’m just dancing all alone
It’s a kind of sweet delight
I’m humming to the tune
As I turn and dip and sway
All my losses and my sorrows
Seem to gently fall away
It’s a sexy and slow rhythm
Which is heard best on my own
It’s not even my decision
I’m just dancing all alone

Sweet! 🙂 A bit poignant …
Thanks!! 🙂 🙂
When I was single, I used to love to dance around my apartment alone. It was a way to be in the music that is very different from singing or playing an instrument. Your poem reminded me of that time! 🙂
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
Me too….must be our cold medicine kicking in! 🙂 This was beautiful…I hope you are feeling better, Sis! 🙂 ((dances off–alone))
Thanks Skye – I’m off to the doctor today as it isn’t getting better…it seems to, then comes back and my chest cold part is getting worse so going to check it isn’t an infection that needs antibiotics or anything. 🙂
Oh, let me know how it goes. Mine has been around for the longest time….I should probably go, too. Praying for you, Sis! Big hugs!
oh this reminds me of a long time ago. I need to get back in shape lol
LOL, thanks!! 🙂 🙂
I bet it wasn’t a tango. 🙂
Yep, that would have been quite a challenge to do on one’s own, LOL! 🙂
The things that go on behind closed doors 🙂 I’ll never tell lol
LOL! Thanks!! 🙂 🙂
Helen!!! This is awesome piece.
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
