Ballerina

Move. To the back, To the front, Inward, Outward..

I sway and dance,
As if in trance..
Rainbows inside my soul,
Ah, fresh love out for a stroll..

Pause. Jump, Turn, Pull in, Pull apart..

This joy so pristine,
me, the new queen..
Serene and tender,
Isn’t love a wonder?

Rise. Swing, Stretch, Bend, Twirl..

The eyes converse,
Languages disperse..
For, it’s silence that steals,
The beauty, off words..

Sway, Pull in, Touch, Hold. Pause.

In his eyes, am lost..
Pragmatic, is this thought?
Or is it all trouble,
Like a dream inside a bubble?

dream itself is a bubble and how did you imagine a dream inside a bubble :-) that was cute...

Anu said...

Netcraze, it's both ways actually..the first three stanzas led to choose a pic like that..the truth is this: the pic you see is actually two images fused to one..I did some photo editing on it..the last stanza was inspired by the pic..:)

Yathrigan, thanks! Yeah, what you say is another way of looking at it..:)..a dream inside a bubble is even more vulnerable..:)

Hi Anupama,
reached your blog by blog hopping.
Nice posts. I Don't have much knowledge about poetry. So no comments about that. But liked the image (When I read the comments, I came to know that it is your own creation. Good work... I'm also very much interested in that field. My fav tool is Photoshop). Keep posting... (Post some of the images that you created or more specifically "fused"). All the best
