Knotted In the Dance

Knotted in the Dance Our eyes in a silent promise locked, the way only stranger's can. Perhaps foretelling of lover's, unfrocked, langoured and breathless ran. You, I think, blushed in surprise, though I really don't remember. For I, like a thief rushed window pried, saw only endless splendor. Your face laying against my chest explored, and traced the furrow'd line. Though indifferent to that wound ignored, the scar I tried to hide. You, now with arms around my neck entwined, my hands, the master of your curved hips. Knew how with charms, bound to defect, divined, to lands where time stands unperturbed in eclipse. Few hovered the hall that night as we, caught in love's magical trance. Two lover's enthralled in flight shall be, forever knotted in the dance.

This very inspiring and magnificently composed piece now sits me down., And with welcomed smile and not a sorrowing frown. To write what appreciative mind has just been gifted. Ink today, that which has seeking heart and begging soul so uplifted. Truly exceptional verse. A fav...

Excellent poem. Very intimate, but without demystifying the dance. Outstanding, fave.
