A Ghazal--Writing Prompt
Always She Danced
Always she danced, twirling circles on sun beams
her tresses flowing, sailing away on a dream.
Youthful eyes sparkling, red lips, skin made of cream,
movements angelic, drifting away on a dream.
Dancing forever, chasing new skies to extremes,
running past clouds, rushing away on a dream.
Soaring past stars, touching galaxies supreme,
chasing exhaustion, speeding away on a dream.
Running till she dropped while her smile lost its gleam,
only till her next song, then away on a dream.
Changing her music, shining high notes to extreme,
infused with a new tune, away on a dream.
Dancing with madness making movements extreme,
soaring past me, speeding away on a dream.
