In the street

Dancing with rhythm

Twas her chance

For freedom

Letting each movement carry

Escaping farther

The air is heavy, as music fills the room
The loud sounds from the DJ, take up space
Holding her gaze briefly, but he dare not assume
He knew she could be, his one saving grace

She blushed, like petals of a rose bouquet
Watching him walk, across the crowded floor
Trying very hard, though, she couldn’t look away
She felt his stare, straight through, to her core

Afraid to do something, if he must confess
He bowed his head, in silent despair
Not sure what to say, so she would say yes
He quietly stood, next to this maiden, fair

Clearing his throat, gathering up his nerve
He simply asked her if she cared to dance
Graciously, accepting, with quite the verve
You never know, unless you take the chance

Oh goodness, what a terrible sight

When they finally turned on the light

There was dust everywhere

But they just did not care

Turned on music and danced with a mite

She dances, like a butterfly flutters

Caught on a simple breath of a breeze

Graceful as the flowers, she is blooming

Adorning meadows, she moves with ease

Soaring, like a bird in flight, she glides

Her life, a delicate balance, unbounded

Floating on the clouds, she is light as air

While trying to keep herself grounded

Dancing on air, no ground for their feet

The music is silent, hearing only the beat

Of two hearts, together, perfect symmetry

Afloat on the wind, their minds, fancy free

Bodies in motion, no matter the space

No need for frilly, they are elegant grace

Flying high, still, they’ve new heights to discover

Their movements in sync, each one, the other

 

Author’s note: I chose to write the opposite (antonym) of Michelle’s prompt.
