Ballet Fun

A little bit of ballet dance,
A little bit of dancy prance,
A little bit of prancy run,
A little bit of ballet fun.

A drop of music in the air,
A lot of colour everywhere,
A leaping hop, a graceful flop,

The ballet’s in the atmosphere.

For Tess

Silent Speakers Sit Close in the Dark

Silent speakers sit close in the dark, on
Cold damp stone steps a gulf apart.
Shadows of figures slink past,
Oblivious to silent speakers in the dark

Chill air soaks through their skin,
The night runs wild, gleefully tantalising.
She feels lost, empty- back to where they've been,
His touch soaks through her chill skin

Drops of sadness falling from the skies,
The loneliness that couldn't fall from their eyes
She’s dry; an aching dry pain, there feeling aching dry rain.
The cry of despair is trapped inside,
Punching at rebounding walls-

She can’t escape and the angel falls.
