Dancing the Music - For Pharaoh

October 22, 2018 in poetry

You dance the music
On the thin line
Drawn in between
Arrogance and confidence
Looking for uncharted territory
Night after night
Hunting for a glimpse of
That moment
That forces you to come back
To agony and joy
Of birthing your essence

Years of loving
Years of dedication
Sweat pouring
For your libation
Passing and digesting
Hours of solitude
Drenched in notes
Sixteenth
Eighth
Quarter
Half
And whole
Now you
Dance the music
Like
Flying was your
Second nature

The lights glaze you with red sheen
Sweat shimmering down your face
Dark and statuesque
Wearing mysteries
Like you were born in it
Music flows
Time bends
Now is forever
and forever is now

I realized that I have a lot to say (I know some of you are laughing at this statement....) and I do like saying them so I thought I'd start a blog.
