Dance

Missing image

 
 

I want to breathe flamenco within your eyes,

embrace this burgeoning ballet - 

staccato heels tap and turn on the wooden floor,

then shoes slide off in silence;

I softly touch your arm, teasing movement close,

then swirl away like the wind
drifting upon horizons of your heart
where I linger like music, inspire like rhythm.

Surrounded by metal and concrete, airless
while my soul yearns for trees,
the soothing sounds of a river flowing in my veins;

you recline upon my banks, languid with love.

I am fiery with imagination,
encrusted and bejeweled with truth.

I wait for your fevered fingers
to find my landscape slowly,

weary of dancing alone.

    Bra-vo!

    This was golden, truly golden.

    Loved this part favourably-

    "I am fiery with imagination,
    encrusted and bejeweled with truth."

    Another gold I see for you here as well!
