In Love with the Rhythm

by Cara   Jan 11, 2009


My soul gets taken by the music; there is no escaping its beat
My body becomes captive, it controls my mind, my feet
The tempo acts as a sound barrier; it's all that can be heard
The rhythm relocates to me, from the words it gets transferred

My limbs glide through the air, no effort is needed
The music won't s cease until I have succeeded
The echo makes my blood pump and my heart pulse
Each movement is true to myself, none of it false

Dancing is my therapy; it's what keeps me sane
When my figure moves, my heart shuns all pain
Music cleanses my soul and relieves any stress
Dance is my one and only true love, I confess

**Thankyou to Ingrid - Dream Angel, for the title.**

    Aw Cara this made me feel really good ^^
    very captivating title indeed.
    loved your wording and everything =)
    I only have one comment:
    "My body becomes captive, it controls my mind, my feet"
    I think this could've been better if you made it like this:
    My body becomes captive, it controls my mind [and] feet"
    I mean "and" instead of "my".

    But still nothing lessened the beauty of this piece :]
    very well done..I truly admire poems about music and rhythm of the heart
    Write on

    Thank you,

    for not sucking. You took something as simple as dancing and created a beautiful thought process. You made me like reading about dancing. The poem was "put together". Nothing was forced, and your flow almost mimicked that of dancing.

    Music , the very essensial of the human touching feeling , the secret that make our sprirt grow and the sound that heal most of our pain and sufffering , and give us joy and satisfaction..

    it seem cara you found this truth somewhere between the dancing floor , where th body and the sound work as one , to relve his pain ,.
    i would remvoe the semi colon and use a simple colon , but other then that the expression and the flow were jsut amaizing . i think you expressed a topic that a little know how to express ,

    great job
