Dancing Here Forever
a poem
My heart still sways, ever riding love’s gentle currents not theirs or mine, its own, forged for her within me each shade of heart, each gasp of passion one part of a something now fixed to my very center that fleeting cry — a time to know peace as my own my hips, such flow, a home for her absent hands to fall apart — to come together as more shifting shape into she who aught finally soar dancing now upon the earth, rooting so into its strength to bless myself and child — with grace, one day, that other this dance, a prayer fate shows me clear before the end beckoning they who can be all, as seen only in her the one to hold me down and lift me up at once that burdened prince my heart felt out ahead known so in hope, their darkened tower of beauty signs of that one called me deep into the dark bled me straight from tap upon the altars of ignorance etching patterns into my soul through suffering wrought beacons for that fated one who lives inside alone birthing anew, this self who thrives despite my need and love and hope — a light to share dancing here for all to see, in wait for their spirit to remember all we were that wind-whispered promise she’ll find me again granting chance to know our peace once more
