Divine Service

Concinnity of rapid motion in balance and proportion,
round the ballroom, like the synchronized frequency
of vibration in a crystal quartz.  Whirling contortion
of bodies embraced in movement's revealing intimacy.

They are partners.  They are dancers.  They are lovers
wantonly stoking libido's hot glowing embers;
promenade affirming keen awareness to the vigors
of the steps, footfalls and technique of its pretenders.

Gown and tux attired, passionate accessories to the cult;
merengue, fox-trot, rhumba, abandonment's fertility rites
to gods and goddesses, danced with such elegant result,
they are immortalized in time --- divine service to the night.

    reminds me of ballroom dancing. Dressed to the nines whirling around the dance floor with such elegance and even pretending love to make the dance look more passionate. Great entry thank you.

    interesting piece. i think the deep wording of this left me feeling a bit confused. I tend to like things that are a tad more simple. But I know that each writer knows what they mean by their piece, so I know this holds special meaning for you and that special other. thanks for entering

    Your poem is dynamic, with great momentum and a wonderful vocabulary. There is one word I mentioned that I have not seen before.
    You describe the passion of the dance very well, this is the poem of a skilled writer. Best of luck!
