Dance With Me

I should be leaving tonight,
but still I sit, wound up tight.
Then I hear your music play--
your hands stroke the keys just right.
And something stirs inside of me,
a pull, a spark, a need to be
entwined with you completely.

Come, dance with me--
my body longs to be free.
Come, let us dance the night away,
moving together in every way.

See how I can’t sit still?
How my skin aches for your thrill?
See this fire in my face--
it burns to feel your warm embrace.

Come, dance with me--
my body longs to be free.
Come, let us dance the night away,
moving together in every way.

Your music makes it hard to think,
and now I’m standing at the brink.
Your melody--my sweet delay,
I’ll never walk away.
So in your arms I’ll stay.

Come, dance with me--
my body longs to be free.
Come, let us dance the night away,
moving together in every way.

Alesia, I love the "music" that flows throughout this poem, and I love the imagery as well. Congratulations on a fine, memorable composition. God Bless!
