Heart Dance

Approach me in a dance of love,
let distance play no part.
Embrace me in a pas de deux,
though miles keep us apart.

Two steps forward ... then 20 back,
your energy beckons me on.
Bodies fused, we touch the moon
and dance from dusk ‘til dawn.

We choreograph our inner fears
while seeking heart-deep healings.
Afraid to dance the love again,
afraid to bare our feelings.

A pause, our hands just barely touch,
Our eyes lock in a stare.
Too much? Too soon? Or not enough?
Then Destiny issues a dare.

Electric passion flows between us,
minds and bodies await our fate.
In Time’s ubiquitous continuum,
our spirits bond to celebrate.

This celebratory poem to dance + love is really delightful. Oh do I recall grand disco days when movement + joy marked our youth. Be well dear lady. Sincere good wishes, Brian
