The Dance Floor

by Rupradha Mookerjee

Last night when I danced

And rocked the dance floor

There was passion, energy,

Excitement, a teenager’s feelings,

And an unbound desire

To wash away my solitude,

The sizzling bar, the young crowd,

The grooving with the rhythm,

Everything was magical,

Foggy yet tantalizing,

But with every dance step,

All I wanted was you.

Something was missing,

Yes, it was only you;

Wish I could dance with you,

Like the couples danced,

In an enticing way,

Holding each other in arms,

Wish I could kiss you

Like the couples did,

Sitting on the couch

And making out,

It made me lonely again

And I missed you like hell!

I appreciate your thoughts Sharbaaniranjan Ji. Thanks a lot. Missing somebody is a state of mind and an emotional feeling and that don't make me Abalaa.. :) My love don't seek pity, it's divine and unconditional..

Despite your sentiments, I would you rather be like the ballerina in the Getty image coming with your poem, instead of missing a somebody. Be the ballerina of the picture. If you missed somebody, I would rather you be Ardhanariswar! Do not be ABALAA.
