Holding You In a Dance
holding you in a dance
the side-by-side stroll
raising my arm is your cue
begins the whirlwind
a whisper crosses the floor
you turn into me
my hand slides to the hips
fold arm into mine
bringing in the warmth
cheek to cheek, lips to ear
i adore you
now the gentle separation
my arm reaches into the heavens
hers in hand as my other lowers
begins the magic in her pirouette
as she turns her hair rushes
shoulder to shoulder
i am spellbound in the wave
the foam appears receding, revealing
the ivory neck of the Venus i so adore
the ear comes into full view
where so often i hover
a butterfly caught in the magic
acquiring drams in a captivating meadow
moments spent in endearment
as that cheek-nose comes into view
i see Greek sculptors lost in a daydream
where chisel and stone await in reverence
as my hand pulls your hip in
lips in a simper, a delicious temptation
but not enough to deter our eyes embracing
as hysteria succumbs to ecstasy
our cheeks glide into one another
i am in a moment with her ear
i missed you
this is how my world turns
in the heavens we are
