I Will Dance To Your Tune

I’ll dance to your tune Letting your rhythm flow through me I’ll let your hand guide me Your heart setting the beat I will dance to your tune Sometimes a slow dance To fit your flirtatious mood Sometimes a quickened pace When your heart is racing To capture the days You were the King of the dance floor And were adored Recapturing the splendor You show me off As I twirl Your girl On this dance floor Sometimes I'm held tightly Sometimes at arm’s length I’ll dance your dance To the tune of your needs Knowing you set the scene According to your schemes To fit your desires and dreams I’ll dance to your tune I will let you take the lead Though my heart is encaged And longing to break free To dance to it’s own tune To its own passionate beat A wild musical score That sets fire to feet On a dance floor of desire and heat A rhythm thunderous with longing Booming in loudness that defies Every other thought except... this dance...this moment...this chance A dance demanding fusion of bodies Faces a mere breath away Hearts taking turns at will In one liquid movement of burning heat A rapturous oneness Rythmic frenzy That makes everything else In this dance hall fall away They all stop and stare As our dancing souls we bare I accepted YOUR invitation to dance YOU lead me to this dance floor YOU held onto my hand I will not stop dancing till you do I will confine myself My arms and legs obeying My heart slowing its pace To fit the steady beat of your own Against my chest My whole body in surrender To your rhythm and pace But oh…oh how I wish My rhythm could light up your face How I wish..... I could teach you to dance... To my tune!!! Eileen Manassian Ghali

Been watching the Dirty Dancing movie much? :) I highly enjoyed the flow here. This actually reminds me of one of my favorite dance scenes in Addams Family Values, when Raul Julia & Angelica Huston danced so wonderfully in the restaurant. Thank you for this. :)

OH...the BEST scene in Dirty Dancing...the dance sequence to TIME OF MY LIFE! I actually sometimes youtube it and just watch and get carried away. Patrick Swayze was one of my favorite actors...I fell for him in his role in North and South! I'm not aware of the other other scene you are referring to....Maybe I'll Youtube that one! :) Thanks for stopping by....

HA HA! No, Lucilla, I don't know how to tango....it looks complicated...I'd be two left feet. Thanks for the visit, my dear. I haven't been well these past two days...I'll stop by for a visit soon!

Well, if that isn't the dearest, sweetest thing to say, KENNY! :) I'm speechless! :) Your poetry brings me smiles, Jack...I need lots and lots of those....I'm overly intense...Sometimes...it's good just to say...what the heck, and have a good day! ;) You do that for me!!! HUGS from my heart to YOURS...If only everyone could be so open and genuine! :)

I think you may have a few adjustments to make. "Sometimes a slow dance" "Sometimes I'm held tightly" the poem itself is wonderful, you are a dancer Extrodinaire.
