Midnight Tango
By: Ariel Clark

She held my hands and I followed suit,
Like a pair of hearts.
We trembled as the air was pierced by a flute,
Ignoring all other remarks.
We danced through the night,
Even as the stars glimmered to a fade.
And in my mind I thought; “What a sight!”
For she looked like the loveliest maid.
Our frozen breaths shattered the air,
Our footfalls drowned out all sound.
It was as though stumbling into a Succubus lair,
With no one but us to be found.
Like a pair of hearts.
We trembled as the air was pierced by a flute,
Ignoring all other remarks.
We danced through the night,
Even as the stars glimmered to a fade.
And in my mind I thought; “What a sight!”
For she looked like the loveliest maid.
Our frozen breaths shattered the air,
Our footfalls drowned out all sound.
It was as though stumbling into a Succubus lair,
With no one but us to be found.
Writer's Statement: I love rhyming and find poetry to be a fun way to express ideals in a sense that normal language can't quite grasp. I've done poetry for years as a coping mechanism and adore rhyming particularly, so be prepared for that.
