Flightless birds

 


We danced through hell,

twirling to our own song,

one we sang soundlessly

in the beat of our blood pumping,

to the whispers of our breath.

We swooped under waterfalls

reminders of that cool spray,

that previously fizzled against

our skin on those hot days.

We danced the night away,

Flightless birds,

taking to the air anyway.

 

We danced under

the moons sightseer eyes

As we stepped

into the midnight rhythm.

We waltzed between the stars,

Tangoed beside tangled bedsheet clouds.

Foxtrotted beside the foxglove 

where we slyly shied our eyes

from where we had once made love.

Across grasses

so besotted with the way

our feet swayed,

they swept themselves

along to the flow of our waves.

On the movements our hips

made in that shy light

of the moon hiding away.

 

Quickstepped across the oceans,

feet barely touching the waves,

I'd drain every footstep that you made

like it was the finest champagne.

We danced through deserts

as sand blast winds blew.

Through forests, covering

our naked skin from view.

We danced into tomorrow.

We slid into a rumba across

the pages of our story,

ink writhing as

we merged together.

We emerged dancing

into explosions and hellfire

and stopped and cried.

Watching as love slowly died.
