Darling
come and lead me
to your music,
swirl me
upwards, onwards
twist me deeper
into lunacy,
into darkness of de-
light.
Darling dance me
dizzy-dazed
let’s praise the many ways
to feel and fall
in softer madness
down.
Let’s dance amazed,
bedazzled
darkly crazed.

Oh, how this spill of words charms me!
This is just fantastic:
“let’s praise the many ways
to feel and fall
in softer madness
down.”
Perfection.
I like the upward swirling and darkness of delight.
‘Let’s dance’ makes me think of David Bowie, Björn, and I love the verbs you use in your quadrille, enough to make anyone ‘dizzy-dazed’, ‘bedazzled’ and ‘darkly crazed’.
to lose onself in the dance is really a kind of lunacy, this is a humourous though
Happy Monday
much love…
Love this:
“into darkness of de-
light.”
So much wrapped up in so little!
Love the alliteration, the rhythm and the rhyme!
Merriness for all!
You portray the emotions that overtake you when you are dancing quite well. There is such an intimacy to dancing. Beautiful Bjorn.
What fun to whirl like a dervish – to dance into madness.
I do like the alliteration in this one, and the swirling dancing rhythm.
the swirling lunacy of the night dance, I love it, carried away by its magic
I am already dancing! ❤️ You absolutely rocked the prompt, Bjorn! 😀
This could get sweaty…just saying 😉
Beautiful and so well written! ❣️
How de-lightful specially with the dancing till dizzy-dazed.
No one takes us on a sensual journey better than you do, Bjorn!.
Love the crazy, carefree dance 🙂💕 What fun!
I love this and since I just saw the play “Phantom of the opera”, that is what I relate this to, the music of the night!
I absolutely love the loud lewd freedom of this – whirling and whirling… lose, limber and laughing – great write Bjorn…
Completely charming.
Wonderfully whirling and waltzy 🙂
Rob nailed it with his comment “loud lewd freedom” … your words and pic give a sense of no inhibitions 🙂
I love all the z-sounds…and the idea of falling deeper into lunacy. (K)
Love the progression of this through the stanzas. Such rich language – it begs to be read aloud.
Has the grotesquery of a nineteenth century French brothel. I like the repetition of the dizzying Z’s.
The words spill out like musical notes in this. I love it!
