And here we sit
In the same old place.
I just can't stop
Staring at your face.
We're falling apart
Holding each other -
Never let me go,
We'll love one another.
Won't you come
and dance with me awhile?
Only one thing I
Desire - to see your smile.
Smile as we dance,
Laugh away the pain,
Just promise you'll
Dance with me in the rain.
Dance as you laugh
Dance as you cry,
Just dance with me,
As you let out a sigh.
Now dance with me,
Dance away your pain.
Show me your love,
Let's dance in the rain.
In the same old place.
I just can't stop
Staring at your face.
We're falling apart
Holding each other -
Never let me go,
We'll love one another.
Won't you come
and dance with me awhile?
Only one thing I
Desire - to see your smile.
Smile as we dance,
Laugh away the pain,
Just promise you'll
Dance with me in the rain.
Dance as you laugh
Dance as you cry,
Just dance with me,
As you let out a sigh.
Now dance with me,
Dance away your pain.
Show me your love,
Let's dance in the rain.

The Ballroom Eulogy
She dances in abandoned ballrooms decorated with dusty chandeliers and cobwebbed draperies. Ancient hotel floorboards creak music as she sweeps over them, creating designs in the dirt. Her arms paint pictures in the lukewarm air as her lips form words… songs without melodies.
Writing ballads through the night, she extends her legs and her dreams into the hope that one day someone might ask her name. She haunts the grand staircases and walks down faded red carpet, her eyes alight with stardom that she may never obtain.
Crystal baubles hang from cracked chandeliers and specks of shine glow through the layers of dust and soot that has gat

THREE DAYS FROM NOW
for Daniela Jara's 20th birthday on 6.21.04
three days from now
she will rise up to the playground of angels
fighter jets and zeppelins
burst open the door
translate her body into an equation
of one–hundred twenty pounds moving
nine–point–eight meters per second per second
and tumble from heaven
because she wants to taste the sky
on her birthday
this is the part of the poem
where I should drop metaphors
about falling in love with her
or how she's already fallen from heaven once
or something about shooting stars
or glass ceilings
but this isn't a love poem
I said I would fall alongside her
stretch out fingers to find her

Just something I typed up while at work. I kinda like it - actually, I really like it. We'll see what else I can come up with using the idea of dancing in the rain.
I just love the imagery of dancing in the rain with your love. I've been tossing ideas around for a poem themed around dancing, and I've also always liked it when it rained. So the two ideas really clicked, for some reason. I churned this out a bit quicker than I would've liked, and I've tweaked it a bit since posting it (both reasons because I was closing the office when I finished it), but overall I really like the way it came out.
Constructive criticism is appreciated.
