Exaltation

The background was muted and blurred as we dance For all of our senses are numb save the heart Vivid to me is your voice and your form only For your presence swallowed up everything Exaltation and music made our dance move fluid And in our repeated circulation We are suddenly caught by a whirl of tenderness Pricking our hearts with excitement tip needles Your concupiscent hold on my waist Stirred sunken love granules in my stomach It rose up and sent red strokes on my cheek Only to reveal my hidden weakness You just smile by the accidental confession Yet I see in your eyes a sweet premonition Flashes about you and I in varied style Performing sensuous ritual for soul union This is not a steamy dream you see? To be seize by love is to conquer time This moment is most precious to me I won’t trade this to insipid immortality
