"Why She Dances"

"Why She Dances"

by:

Aven R. De leon/Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

Blinding strobe light and pulsating club music

She dances like an uncontrolled Manic

Trying to mask her panic

sweat on her body , her hair slick

II

She grabs another drink to down

And wary looks around

She's drunk , next moment she's on the ground

And her cries for help drowned by the sound

III

Much like the other times she asked for guidance

Sound and sound in abundance

The blinding lights and music put her in a trance

And that is why she dances

Editors Note:

This is the 4th poem that Aven and I collaborated on this November and she was gaining more confidence as she decided to lead on this one. She provided the opening line and I would be the 2nd line for each stanza.

According to Aven this is a poem about a girl who seems to forget her troubles every time she dances.
