Word-High July: Indak

Posted on July 10, 2016July 10, 2016 by areadingwriter

Indak

The night is young,
the club is dark,
but my breath
and heartbeat stopped.
When my eyes saw
your body’s dancing prelude,
oh, I am captured
with no desire to elude.

So, sister, there will be dancing, right? Or will the narrator remain frozen? Either way, something extraordinary is happening.

    LOL! I feel like that’s the same for a lot of people, like actors or singers. On stage, they look ethereal. Off stage, they’re just like anyone else.
