The Dance
Date - Unknown
Like fireflies, floating through a pale cloud of mists,
The thoughts, the uncertainty- an airless, suffocating atmosphere.
She spins on, a perpetual dance of perfection and balance,
Damp tendrils sting her skin, whipped around in perfect motion-
Motion choreographed of emotions.
An endless walk on a single strand of glistening spider's silk.
A tiptoing acrobat on a vast plain of beautifully painful glass,
Her rue form, shrouded in a thousand veils of pride and doubt and insecurity,
Veils stained with deceitful fregrances of contempt, envy and control.
Ever waiting for the one who engulfs her shrouds-
Which, one by one, vanish as the stars in the twilight.
Notes:
Wow...this one has a LONG explaination.  There's tons of metaphors and similies and personifications and whatnot in there, so...if you would really like the explaination, feel free to email me, and I'll respond with a number at which I can be reached because it's too much to type and I talk fast. ;-)
