Cirque de Solie

Silk lace tied tight

Toes arching in pale spotlight

How did we get here?

Drum beats thrum

Bodies twisting in silver cloud

How did we get here?

Hearts thumping

Dancing apart… together

Preforming in this Cirque de Solie

Chased by a spotlight

Coming close but never touching

Chased by a spotlight

Coming close again never touching

Performing in this Cirque de Solie

Eyes twinkling

Lips drawn in bloody smile

I know we are here

Black costume flaring

Feelings tossed in trash can

I know we are here.

This life in the limelight

Dark shadows watch the edges

This is Cirque de Solie

Barest whisper of violins

Thrumming beat of the drum

Heaven is Cirque de Solie
