Dance with me, but don't fall down
Lie to me, but don't make a sound
because that piece of me you didn't want
was a domino in a line of font
And these words are parading
dancing, dying, masquerading
twirling on the edge of a blade
each step is my surrender,
each thought a new crusade
It's tragic that you're so tender
when you dance upon a blade
This could be the last time
I smile while you're jading
It's nighttime and wartime
and there are blows we could be trading
but tonight I just want to dance
because on you, prince, I took a chance
and let the dominoes come crashing down
So just dance with me, and don't fall down..

Poetry: Dancing
Dance
It was only a seaside cafe,
My soul a tendril reaching out
Eagerly cleaving to the silhouette,
Standing on a table near
A Balinese Dancer
Exotic and alluring,
Each movement casts its spell,
Evoking myths and legends,
Such dramas she can tell.
Swaying
DOES HE LIKE TO DANCE
Quiet moments are elusive
Fear born of loneliness is obtrusive
In our fast paced world
by Scott Scherr
Pirouette on Carousel
I penetrate the mist; what's there?
A heart with dreams immune to cares.
Behold such grace of life
On high tip toes
She stretches her leg in the air
The audience is silent
As they mesmerizingly stare
With a twist of the wrist
