Our Slow Dance

Just my mind wandering, playing silly tricks on me.

 

Close

We stand

Together now,

Fingers conjoined,

Holding us as one.

Follow my lead

Into these

Soft notes

Now.

 

Darling one, you I’ll keep

Forever in mind and heart.

Trust my gentle touch,

Be calm for now it is

That no enemies are near to us,

Safe in a moment of peace

Protected in song’s fortress.

‘Tis only you and I for now

So no longer are claws needed.

 

Rather…

 

Serene spinning in this timeless circle

To find that inner bareness of self,

Showing me as I show you

The paths to our inner selves.

Not lost but found myself

Within your eyes and your caring touch.

I feel something newer

When you are nearest,

A warmness from within.

 

Close

We stand

Together here,

Fingers entwined,

Keeping this moment.

Follow my lead

Always in

These soft

Notes.

Wow!!!!
Those who are slow dancers will want this as their credo, I'm most certain :P.
This was so tender, could almost hear a soft song in the background,
lights dim and feel the dance itself. The feelings are so pure in this poem,
Like all of your work, you bring a beauty to this that comes by honesty alone.
Lovely creation!~P

Sweet as hell.
I want to know what that's like.
