Ancient Dance

We stand closely  in the cool bedroom
Mutual appreciation abounds
Delicate hands caress my shoulders
My arms enveloping your loveliness

Finger-tipped feather light touch
Maps the gentle arch of your back 
Simultaneously my hands moving away from me
Downwards, bringing us closer still

Anticipation firing desires
Breathless elevation of all senses
We embrace the Ancient Dance
Of lovers over millennia.
