One Last Dance

wrapped tightly in your memory images softly caressing my mind gliding to strains of the past on limbs that remember achingly your touch the essence of you imprinted on lips and loins lost now in this last dance sadness drumming a remorseful beat the dying notes of love fading away leaving emptiness to be held in arms singing softly its need to return once more to your sanctuary your body a road I travelled well now washed away into flooding memories my mind returns to yet another dance our first, so different then held excitedly with vibrant anticipation of lips that strained with carnal urges as our bodies entwined in a single melody that built to such a crescendo, a symphony of emotion yearning to recapture the passion leaning towards the music of your body its rhythmic movement, familiar and calming I am lost in the beating of your heart as this dance stirs to its final chorus my falling tears the last step in our duet
