A Lonely Tapdance
 by Kasa no Miko (shards_of_dewprism@yahoo.com)

Tap tap...fingers dance across the board,
Cobalt blue intense and cold,
As you while away the hours...tap tap...

Traipsing through doors, tight and locked
Jaws of capture you have mocked
As you stole from higher powers...tap tap...

Turn away from your dire task
Take off your silent, stoic mask
Come to me, that's all I ask.

You hear not what I say to you,
Your unflinching eyes so frigid blue,
As you sit before the screen...tap tap...

Let me take you in my arms
Rile you in with wily charms
Show me care and ecstasy
Turn your loving eyes to me.

Oh Perfect Soldier, bare your soul
Cast away that emotionless role
Fly with me to worlds unknown
Flee from this quotidian drone
Morbid seas of stone shall part
Reveal the path into your heart...

 AUTHOR'S NOTES: I leave it to your imagination to figure out who "I" is.
