Electric Palimpsest

An electronic trance of light and sound 
tempering the charged air between us,
all at once my heart starts to pound. 

Distracted briefly by the background
that is more of a target than a fuss,
an electric trance of light and sound.

Apprehension in an instant drowned, 
there is something we must discuss.
All at once my heart starts to pound.

To be your queen I must be crowned, 
addicted to the friction I’m delirious.
An electric trance of light and sound.

Debris is wiped with a shot downed,
instant palimpsest is so mysterious.
All at once my heart starts to pound. 

With the knowledge I’m forever bound,
I drift closer so breathtakingly curious.
An electric trance of light and sound,
all at once my heart starts to pound.
