The Dance Poem by lacey jackson

i saw you from a distance
deep in the crowd
your eyes brought to me silence
through the music playing aloud

as i turned to walk away
i felt you coming to me
i asked myself
could it be?

i turned my back
started to walk away
but you stood before me
your eyes shining gray

somewhere through the music
blaring in my ears
i heard your soft whisper
loud and clear

you said
lets find a queiter place
then you grabbed my hand
as if there was no time to waste

you lead me outside
into the dark and cold
you wrapped your jacket around me
and i had you to hold

your hand held my face
your fingers moved my hair
your lips touched mine
so gentle with care
