Eyes of the gods
His brown eyes locked into hers
Seeing the moment as it was
Pure, electric, erotic
The red fire glowed
In the background scene
The music’s hot beat
Kept their bodies swaying
Together apart, together again
They had danced so long
Their glow pure lust
Nothing could stop the dance
Beat after beat their steps
Complete synchronization
As though natural partners
The crowd was in awe
Gathering watching
Begging for more
The night was theirs
The gods smiled down on this
Magic dance of ecstasy
The flames leapt higher
When the last dance was called
They both knew the truth
This last dance of passion
Never to be repeated
They both had other places
Other arms that waited tenderly
Unknowing, unsuspecting
This moment to be remembered
Breath by breath, step by step
A dance for memory’s photograph
Forever to remain locked away
Relived in odd moments
Letting them realize
They are alive to dance and love
Like the gods themselves
