And I danced as if a wild thing
had entered the forest of my beats
A soundless ballet through dark halls
while brooding chairs sat on haunches
like sad ogres about to weep
I served up all my lonely nights
the love that stabbed in the guise of moonlight
twirling like a smile over un-kissed lips
fading like a flower in summer’s grip
the rain-drenched roses near the fence
killed by the heaviness of tears unwept
the joy that parting could never ease
With the feet of thunder hurtling down hills,
the feral spirit when it found the gaps
turned into a storm and wrecked the peace
A shoe hangs from a dusty fan
The curtain has eloped with the breeze

” Solo ” is almost kinetic in the way it conveys the passion and energies involved in dance. The subject matter itself redolent with metaphor and allegory that is brought to a climactic final line of , ” the curtain has eloped with the breeze “.
Thanks Louis Kasatkin. The beautiful way in which you comment adds substance to every poem.
love the use of metaphors here- as usual a vibrant poem- beautiful.
