Children Dancing

Dedicated to Thuy ~for opening my eyes to a beautiful experience~

The experience I cannot hinder,
By mere words of explanation.
The beat I cannot resist,
By any form of limitation.

Hungry eyes ravish the lands,
Drinking up the scene
With childlike innocence,
Awed by the caring teen.

The bastard son of Torment,
Pain reveling inside.
Flashing lights pumping,
Radiating the ache outside.

Head down,
Feet dragging,
Suddenly bombarded by love,
Then healed by their helping.

Despite the troubles,
Regardless of pain,
I let myself go free,
Beat exploding within.

The environment was beautiful,
Joyful tears I willingly weep.
My smile stretched into forever,
As our memories guided my sleep.

About…

Written after Houston’s Cyberfest 2001 Rave. I was lucky to experience one of the last big raves before they all became banned.
