It takes you by the hand
Seemingly unplanned

It begs you for a chance
To woo you with a dance

It whispers in your ear
Soothingly "my dear"

It pulls you to the night
Don't worry - it won't bite

It sways you to the beat
A subtle tune - so sweet

It dips you with a smile
So gracious, so gentile

It quickens up the pace
To keep up with the bass

It spins you round and round
Oh, how beautiful the sound

It lifts you to the sky
The end is almost nigh

It takes you in its arms
So cold and yet so warm

It twirls you one last time
For it truly is goodbye

It kisses you under the moon
A parting gift this night of June

It lets you go and walks away
The song is done - there's naught to say

Give me a minute
To read the stars
Lamenting in their stories
Their laboured twinkling far and sparse

Give me this moment
To stumble and swoon
My branches reaching for
The faraway moon

Give me a while
To be one with the universe
Hear the colliding planets
As they spill their mournful verse

Give me some time
To plot my rightful place
Within my uncharted galaxy
And collapsing space...
Ivy May 2019
Born in a place that I don't call home
Raised in a country foreign to Mom
Stained with the colors of different flags
My soul and my heart: in different lands

"Where are you from?" So simple a question
Yet always I answer with such hesitation
For how do I choose from different parts
Of the whole that is me and my colorful heart?

The answer is simple, not complex at all
It's simply a matter of wearing them all
So I'll show them all proudly: my beautiful hues
For I've finally realized I don't have to choose

— The End —
