    Why He Dances
    Barren dance floor full of ghost
    Not a soul understands why he dances to him self
    He’s among the memories
    They ask him how and why he dances so hard all night long
    He dances with her in another world deep in his hearts past
    Nobody can see the story in him
    But they feel the pain in his heart
    With each step in his dances
    That he takes
    The empty floor is overcrowded with ghost, some friends and then… there’s her poltergeist
    At times throughout the night he pauses to check the time on his pocket watch
    People ask why he checks the time on a pocket watch
    When he’s wearing a watch
    If they looked closer they’d see five words engraved on the cover
    Love, Faith, Hope, Romance, Honor
    The pocket watch was a metaphor for his life
    And the five words are who he is
    He gazed at it to count down the seconds
    Sometimes minutes
    Till he had the strength again to bare her loss
    He dances till they shut down
    They watched till he left the floor
    He dances to bring back her love
    For it was the dance floor where they first met
    He dances for her…

    I had to read this one because I like to dance. There is a special bond between two people who dance in rhythm and in step with each other. I can see how someones heart would relate to someone by dancing.

    This poem does not have a rhyming content which is something I enjoy myself when I am writing or reviewing others work. I realize that not everything has to rhyme and sometimes when it doesn't you can be more in depth or not limited to just one theme

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
