Within the Restless Mind: a book of poetry

Dancing in the Dark

She dances alone in the night.
The pale light of the full moon
beams down onto the empty sidewalk.
Her lover appeared to her
with a hand outstretched towards her.

She takes his hand..
he pulls her in close..
and puts his hands on her waist as she
puts her arms around his neck.

No music is playing-
the only thing she could hear
was his heartbeat as her head
rests against his chest.

The two lovers did something they've
never done before-
          they slow danced in the dark.
