One Last Dance
wrapped tightly in your memory
images softly caressing my mind
gliding to strains of the past
on limbs that remember achingly your touch
the essence of you imprinted on lips and loins
lost now in this last dance
sadness drumming a remorseful beat
the dying notes of love fading away
leaving emptiness to be held in arms singing softly its need
to return once more to your sanctuary
your body a road I travelled well
now washed away into flooding memories
my mind returns to yet another dance
our first, so different then
held excitedly with vibrant anticipation
of lips that strained with carnal urges
as our bodies entwined in a single melody
that built to such a crescendo, a symphony of emotion
yearning to recapture the passion
leaning towards the music of your body
its rhythmic movement, familiar and calming
I am lost in the beating of your heart
as this dance stirs to its final chorus
my falling tears the last step in our duet
