Phantasm

Did you see her dancing in the full moonlight

By the wall of the ancient, crumbled castle,

Whirling and jumping in time to a tune

That only she could hear and a rhythm

Only she could feel?

 

Did you see her naked limbs in the night

The blue light flashing with each

Glorious and mysterious move that

Only you could see?

 

Did you recall the last time you saw

This dance, the last time you thought

This dream was real?

 

When you woke up sweating and tried

To recall her name, remember

Her smile, and searched for her the

In the faces of every crowd?
