Dancing With A Star

PAD Challenge day 17: For today’s prompt, write a dance poem

You always lead;

How lithe your feet

I do the best I can

To twirl and dip

But often trip

Then you say ‘try again’

Your eyes hold fire

Your touch, desire

Who can resist your glance?

Where outstretched arms

And hunger charms

My heart to take a chance

Around the floor

We glide, once more

How sure and strong you are

We waltz and whirl

Me, just a girl

And you, a super-star

Your steady gaze

Unravels days

As seasons lilt and chime

My want and need

Follow your lead

Dancing with Father Time
