*A bittersweet mixture of agony and ecstasy Found in the lone voice of a piano Painting colours in harmony That leave my senses reeling Flying through the air like an arrow Shot from cupids bow An electric arc in the atmosphere Piercing my soul with forgotten longing Balancing in timeless beauty Pirouetting chiffon billows elegantly through the notes Defying gravity Suspended in animation Music that compels my body into Configurations that delight and thrill my perceptions An exquisite pain of my own making I lose myself in abstractions Octaves fluidly creating shapes Resembling cursive script The author of symmetry I hover on the edge of a lost dream ..... I once stood on my toes Until the day Fate took it from me* (C) Pixievic 2016

I trained & danced as a professional ballerina until I broke my kneecap. My friend recently wrote a piece of music (which can be found here https://soundcloud.com/stevetromans/dance-with-me-if-but-awhile) that inspired me to write this piece.
