Original Poem: Dancing in the Dark



     What is up my peeps? Today I'm gonna be sharing a poem (or whatever you want to call it) that I wrote way back in September. It's a little strange but a lot of my poem ideas are abstract and kind of weird so just bear with me :)

Dancing in the Dark
I twirl
I leap
through the infinite blackness
My streamer
fluttering
curling
over the floor of smooth black glass.
I skip
I spin
but no one sees.
I trip
I stumble
but no one is watching.
For it is just me and the great oblivion.
I whirl
I jump
I fly, I soar
for eternity or seconds more.
I land
I stand
I take a bow
for an imaginary audience.
I bend
I curve
my steamer is sure
that it knows better than I do.
It spirals
It darts
But I have a hold, and send it flying once more.
So graceful
So elegant
So sure
So true
yet no one sees my dance debut.
Except for me
I know my part
and I am glowing in the dark.
I see my reflection sparkle in the murky glass.
My streamer shimmers
with my light
reflecting specks of rainbow.
I am the Prima ballerina tonight.
I am the Prima ballerina always.
And endless waltz through infinity.
Just me and my streamer
a glinting spark
Only a shadow
Dancing in the dark.

     I hope you enjoyed that! It's one of my lighter poems. I write some dark stuff sometimes. Anyways, that's all for today. Let me know what you think of the poem! I will probably post more stuff like this as I'm starting out. Bye friends!
