~The Last Time I Danced

*Last time I saw your face I danced in your essence

 

the tempo deliberate and hauntingly alluring

 

you provided the rhythm for my wanton heart

 

your Grandioso sent me over the moon,

 

then crashing back to earth

 

 

 

 

I felt it'd be our last tango,

 

yet, you expressed devotion

 

I fell into your staccato without missing a beat

 

till I realized you'd always be a cappella

 

with no reason or rhyme for your deceptive cadence

 

there'd be no encore, you were falsetto in disguise

 

 

 

 

Now, I dance alone on a dark moon with no harmony

 

no Maestro to entice an impromptu interlude

 

sad violin music the only melody that tunes my soul

 

still, a free spin above the kick of devils symphony*
