Following the beat, he led me
across the ballroom floor.
And somewhere along the way,
I realized I lost myself
to the music and his movements.

Indak – (v.) to dance in time with music
Awweee isn’t that the most wonderful feeling? To be lost in the music in the arms of the one we love… ❤️❤️❤️

An clean tablecloth on a barely used table for two, two sweaty, half empty champagne glasses. two pairs of sandals left under the table. It’s good to see you having fun with these!

I seldom comment much of late, but I always love your words, this one especially. I want to get lost dancing now.

Beautifully expressed. I am not a dancer but I get the vibe.
Used the title from your poem in my poem “Title 25” (http://wp.me/p73yZZ-1Uu)

I’m a dancer, and this poem reflects dancing so brilliantly!! I always get lost in the music, it’s so easy to forget you are actually dancing because you just move – you lose yourself in the movement, and I think it’s beautiful.

When I read this, I thought of Connor and Aisling at a dance, and Connor sweeping Aisling away to the music =)
