The Song and Dance


the song:
  the first strains come lightly
  the beat of my soul
  it's the drumming of my heart in recognition
  to the whispers in my ear.
  the humming of my nerves
  harmonic their chords
  playing through my skin
  chords turn electric, firey
  firing synapses as my brain throbs
  rocking out to the excitement,
  the thrill of this song.
  lyrics ah the lyrics
  such words were never spoke
  ringing in truths
  like the pealing of cathedral bells.
  this song tears at the heart
  yearning in it's call
  a siren's voice beckoning me across a sea
  this sea that I'm lost in, that may not even exist
  it's my dreams I may be lost in, and waken I must
  the sea and the song, are gone from my head
  like fog being blown through the trees
  oh, would I be back in my dreams
  singing the song with you again.

the dance:
  the eyes flicker and catch
  blushing I look away
  i lean in craving contact
  hand on my head gentle,
  oh that you'd wind your fingers through my hair
  the dance freezes, a breath of time
  moment passes space and reason enter
  times speeds by until the dance begins again
  hand on my cheek leading me into this tango
  the breath leaves me as I'm pulled in tight
  a hand on my hip giving me direction and purpose
  moving again, fast and demanding
  i'm lifted like the tiniest dancer
  wrapping my legs around you like a modern dance
  unwrapping and sliding down, feeling the erratic beat
  of my pulse as I slow to a waltz
  you still lead this pas de duex
  gentle yet demanding, whispering the moves to come
  you choreograph to my body right now
  placing me, stretching me, moving me
  thrown in the air to be caught again
  my heart has dropped and risen
  fingers caught in my tumbled hair
  i cannot move, nor do I want to.
  holding me still, the other hand grazes down
  leaving me vibrating, vibrating to the music of our dance
