Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
đź’€ What do you know? I'm taking a holiday. You can bet that I will be back one day! See you in a week or so. In the meantime, have a look around! đź’€

I waltz a waltz like no other waltz—
My solitary charade soiree—
And I dance the dance to the sad valse
Where my heart’s disease is on display.

It must be love.
Yay, first comment! Indeed, among other things. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, my friend. Always appreciated! 🙏❤️
Here the metaphor comes through strong and clear. One's heart should always be in the dance just as in music or any art.
Thank you, Soren. I am glad you enjoyed and found meaning in the poem. ❤️🙏 Your support and encouragement are always warmly welcomed, my friend!
A powerful poem, enjoyed the read!
Thank you, my dear friend. Glad it delivered and you enjoyed! ❤️🙏
You're very welcome
Hello Tristen. A nicely penned brevity here with layers. This is how I interpreted your words. Put your heart and soul into everything you do to reap the full benefits. Anything less, particularly when it comes to love is going to give you heart ache. Heart disease is a common complaint these days. Hope your Sunday is going well. Another fine write from your talented pen.
Dearest Cassie, thank you so much for your time and your interpretation. You are very close to the mark of my intent, for sure. 🤗 I’ve been in a very lonely place in my life (not literally…I’m surrounded by people…but not deeply connected to them. Even the people I should have intimacy with, that seems to have gone away. Not for a lack of want or effort on my part, but just seemingly because. So, that is the specific place I am coming from in writing this piece. I also love to dance, slow…fast…in between…love it. It’s life-giving to me. Yet, I have no one to dance with. Again, literally, I do, but they don’t share my love of dancing metaphorically or physically, let alone much of anything else at this point. I mean, I don't want to make it sound like no love or relationship is there, that wouldn't be true. But it's been a bit of a long winter season. So, you are right…I feel I do put my whole heart into my relationships. I really do. That’s who I am; I can’t do otherwise. And not having that reciprocated (which is, as you rightly point out, less than what I am giving) brings me much heartache or dis-ease. Of course, there is no wrong interpretation, in my opinion, because poems speak to the individual reading them, but regardless, without knowing the specifics in my life, you came very close to my intent. Well done, my dear poet friend! And thank you so much! ❤️🙏
Ooh! How charmingly rendered in dearest Will's inimitable fashion, laced with such tantalizing intrigue to captivate, its haunting poignancy nearly culls swooning. La dee! Superb! Applicable on multiple points, this is too good and expertly crafted. Thank you very much for sharing.
Ooh la la! Thank you dear poet! Much appreciated, my friend! I am glad the poem delivered and you enjoyed! 🌹👏
Doh! if there's deep meanings in poems, I often don't get their meaning and may put my big foot in it! Or maybe, as you say, poems can be open to different interpretations.
They absolutely can be! LOL! Otherwise, what's the point of having other people besides oneself read them? 🤷‍♂️ Anywho, I very much always appreciate your time and engagement, my friend. Thank you! 🙏❤️
In simple terms if its worth doing its worth doing well - your super shorty captures this with elegance.
Thank you Michael, much appreciated, my friend. See you on the other side of my vacation.
If someone cannot be fully committed or give their whole heart to something or someone, it is better off leaving alone. enjoyed the read
A thought-provoking piece. Works on a few levels. Nicely done.
