Ermine Dance Floor

On this ermine dance floor
Silhouettes of memory
Spectres of my longing
Stanced in poise of recollection
Just as they were
These book marks of my passion
And in these dreams we dance again
In back drops we have never been
To hold this ethereal reminiscence
This fleeing opiate gauze to my heart's suffering
Once more let's take to the dance floor
So I may step in time with you again
While away the fancy with these ghosts of reverie
We lilt, one by one, as I forget to hurt
And smile in a hall where joy of past convenes
Then I blink my eyes and the hall is empty
I stand here alone once again
But if I could dance with you, just one more time
And feel alive again
Close my eyes and hold this moment forever
Even if it's just pretend
