The Last Dance

Come my love, let us have this one last dance
And then no more.
Our hands shall touch,
Our lips shall meet
Your heart in me and mine in you shall throb.
The rain shall be our tune
And silence our words,
While by the blazing firelight we dance.
We shall carve a shadow on the wall
Of not two lovers but one.

The night is young;
Hold my hand and let us dance,
We shall whirl around,
Fast as the days that we have left behind.
Thunders shall sing for us
Memory shall serve as words
Like waves in a storm raged sea
Like lightning in a cloud-laden sky
Come my love, let us dance.
Like souls of lovers possessed by love.

Behold the night is gone,
The rain has stopped
The moon is wan.
Hold my hand and let us dance
We shall tread softly as if on flowers,
We shall murmur words of love, music to our ears.
Time shall stand still,
While we savor the delicate present moment,
Drowning in the other’s arms and eyes.
By the dying firelight,
Come my love, let us love this one last time
For tonight and then no more.

Tomorrow is another new day.

dunno what to name it. The Last Dance?

in my humble opinion...mind blowing

i think it's great..you know i wrote a similar poem a year back and i called it "the last waltz"..
maybe you could name this one "whispers" because everything you said in the poem is meant only for the ears of one person and you would rather whisper all this softly into his ears...
i know i have weird logic!
great work though...

That was awesome... was it derived from first hand experience? ;)

The Last Waltz, perhaps??

How about One Last Time??

I dont know, somehow the main emotion for me in this piece is that of being together for the last time, as a celebration, or as a memory, whichever...

One Last Time, or And then no more...

i found your second line 'And then no more' more haunting and better as a name for this piece.

by the way, nice poem.
