Dance Like God is Watching
Testify
I would never dare to
Move my body
In the disrespectful
Reserved tipsy way
One might
If you embarrassingly
Pretended
People weren’t watching
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
Every hallowed motion
Must be a swan dive
For the most high
A testimony
Before the angels
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
I am fully committed
To the accurate representation
Of every striking moment
Each puncture wound
Siphoning my spirit
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
Each telling movement
Must strike just as hard
Creating clean lines
And flowing transitions
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
Every staggering step
Every flying leap into a
Controlled crashing roll
All played out in service
To proving the truth of my life
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
An unwavering
Turn-set is the ticket
The answer to
The gavel's snapping
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
If that’s not enough
Maybe a lighter touch
Skimming burrees
Tears flowing freely in silence
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
Arms fluttering
Like the dove
What more could be required
For a soul to take flight?
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
My last trick
Is no trick at all
It has a name
Floor-work
But you could say I crawl
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
On hands and knees
Spread flat
Supine and kicking
Screaming
To the heavens in
Frustration and
Beggardly anger
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
How many times must I call
With full body pleadings
Before my plight is viewed
Heard by the cosmic court
Of heavenly beings
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
I will continue my recital
Daily
Until the performance
Is taken to stage
♡˙⋆☽🩰☾ ⋆˙♡
Persistence
My virtue
Verity
My cage

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”
