The Dance

Strangers undulating with rhythmic ease Igniting the air with ecstasy While lights flash in spectacular colour Hot breath creates an intensity Of steam rising up through delirious sound; While damp, red silk caresses my skin Sweat beading on my baking skin As I slip through the spaces with practiced ease I am captured by the rapturous sound Of collective want and ecstasy Immersed in a world of fevered intensity Exchanging black and white for oblivious colour Feeling the music radiate wild colour As I slide across his skin His gaze, unmasking my passion and intensity, Holds me with confident ease Contact sparking transfixing ecstasy Our words are lost in booming sound The vibrations of his voice, a captivating sound My eyes temporarily blinded by colour I am clothed in a shiver of ecstasy As his breath strokes my skin Pulled together with incredible ease By impetuous desire’s intensity Our breath shallow, we move with intensity Lost in overwhelming sound Moving together with unfamiliar ease Overtaken by scent, sensation and colour Passion radiates from our skin Building in agonizing ecstasy The particles between us electric with ecstasy The pumping music loses its intensity As we lose the barriers between our skins Touching with breathless sound I feel the rising heat and colour As our lips come together with ease Our touching skin deadening all external sound In the intensity of dark-lit colour Our passionate ecstasy gives way to comforting ease
