Quick step

Steps dancing through my thoughts
Twirl of green sundress
Wild and free
Her hand in mine
Pull her in
Arms around
Till eye to eye
Heart to heart
A kiss
The dance begins again, together

Solstice

The world is turning
dipping to lowest ebb
til transition at brightest peak
my love resplendent in her power
I my weakest
the mantle passes from the hot gold fecundity of the summer moon
to the cold sharp quiescent winter sky
this would seem to paint us rivals
opposites in struggle
but
these moments of transition are the hours of our lovemaking
an epic titanic love
which seemingly makes us lonely
but there are other worlds
other transition
the bitter winter of space itself
the fierce nuclear fire of the stars
our love is the universe
our lovemaking the acts that foster change
we are love bound together
played out in dances big and small
Dance with us

Improvisational flow

I improvise, I don’t plan except in the broadest of strokes. I taste how the moment feels. I ask myself which action do I desire most, which scares me. If an action would hurt someone I care for, I weigh the consequences if I don’t take it. There are many factors. But it’s like a spinning top. You can choose when, where, how much force. You can setup perfectly and it can still go awry. It is always the factor you haven’t planned for, the unknown or the ones out of your control. So perfection is not attainable. But you can learn to improvise. To dance with the flow of the world. At the end of the day, you can only hope that you lived as beautifully, as open, as you could. That your words, your actions touched a life spinning by and made it better.

Twirl

Lay your burden down and dance with me
Grasp my hand and press close
Whisper to me of desires unsaid, as we sway and step
Disregard those around us
they are of no consequence
Only you and I exist
Dream of me
of my touch, my voice, my words
Share this world with me
or find new world’s in our kiss
in our eyes
Cry or scream, laugh or squee,
this minute, this moment made manifest
and you, and you.

She dances

Scarves whirl about her
Chaotic, frenetic smile
Sweet blood, lost pattern

On waking

Dance with me among the pines
Drink from the golden cup
All my enemies are now thine
And all my allies too

Eat with me this leaven bread
Drink with me this wine
All fears and sorrows have now fled
Before the graceful hart

Dance with us
Kindred and kine
Bound and boundary
Between Breathe and rime

Sing to us our joining
All bravely made
All dreams defied

But dreams must end
‘Ere memories fled

But, In our wake
Wisdom bind
To dream within a dream

Paen

I dance a paen to life’s dawns turning.
To storm and wind
To rain and night

I dance a paen to the ever changing wheel
To stillness and cacophony
To roil and smoke

I dance a paen to the flashing blade
To blood and bone
To razor and gasp

I dance

I dance

In stillness, in pain, in fury, in hopelessness

I dance at the turning of the world
