We make our own music

I want to grow old dancing with you…

Moving close to you

reaching out my left hand

placing it gently on your waist

other hand softly takes yours

pressing our palms together

smiling down at you

we gently begin to move

and sway
I pull you close

your head on my chest

and we dance

step... step... sway

step... step... sway

kissing your head softly

step... step... sway

we make our own music

I feel your warm fingers

clasped in my hand

my hand slips further

drifting down your back

pulling you into me tight
you hear my heartbeat

as your cheek rests

on my chest

and we step… step… sway

we make our own music

our feet shuffle softly

across the floor

swaying… swaying

heartbeats dancing

with each step

we make our own music

swaying slower now

barely moving

leaning in

mouth hovering

over your ear

breathing softly

motionless

hearts

dancing still.

So very sweet. The imagery was so very powerful. I could practically imagine a couple acting out the things you described there in the poem. Beautiful. I applaud you, my friend. You are an AMAZING poet.

[An owl on the moon]

Not feeling so amazing today, so thank you so much for your kind words, dear poet. May you always find yourself dancing.

[Tessa Melendez]

I hope that your day gets better. I know it can be difficult to find the goodness in a day that started off bad.

[An owl on the moon]

Ah, it's true, thank you. It's already getting better. :)

[Tessa Melendez]

That's great. And, you're welcome.

[Lydia Shutter]

Ah, when two hear the same melody and can sway to the music, it is wonderful. Beautifully romantic and so very emotive. Lydi**

There is something perfectly magical about two people dancing, and becoming one with their movements. Thank you. I must read your Moonlight. :)

Thank you, Sara! There is something so beautifully metaphoric about dancing and love; two souls moving in union, and yet in a wondrous freedom. May the weekend find you dancing. :)

Oh gosh this was beautiful. It was one of those reads where you have your hand on your chest to supress the emotions it wants to tug out of you. Very beautiful.

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you, deeply. Dancing is that beautiful expression where two lives move as one, and reflects so perfectly the wonder of two souls becoming as one. One can hope. :)

[SheIsMe]

I agree. The pulling in close and cheek to cheek. Soft breath upon your neck and warmth...it is a truly beautiful thing to experience.

[Renée]

I love your style
The music only two people can hear
and suddenly they move within that same beat
something unique to both of them
no one can decipher it

lovely
