I Want To Dance In The Wind

Hold me, touch me, lift me up,

I want to dance in the wind.

Please me, release me,

I want to walk on the clouds.

 

See me, hear me,

my voice is crying out loud.

I need you you like clouds

that need water to rain down

on us all.

 

Softly, loudly, I know I need you

by my side to release me from my fears.

All my love is in a whirlwind.

 

I want to dance amongst the stars

and drink wine until I am drunk.

I see a new star born in the sky

that is just a child playing in heaven.

Hello Victor,

 

I remember this one from our old home. It's one of my favorites of yours.

 

I think the first line of the second strophe is particularly strong:

See me, hear me...
This is a plea that cries out like a demand, almost rising to the level of an outright command. Then, you go on to confirm your own neediness here:
I need you you like clouds

that need water to rain down

on us all

... and to reveal your desires here:
I want to dance amongst the stars

and drink wine until I am drunk.

This one is compact and polished; I like the layout on the page. Thanks also for including the romantic graphic.

Hello Victor,

 

 

It's wonderful to read this again - I love how you use a whole gamut of images of nature to show the intensity of feelings in your poem. The voice is one of passion, vigor and celebration!

Ah Victor my friend. You know how much I love this poem. I love the imageries and the passion inside.

 

Thank you for sharing here again.

Victor, you made your poem dance with its lifting tone and rhythm.
