Red Light Motion

I painted the dance floor with the strongest
smile, because I had no choice but to move. 

Close
        closer 
                 shoulder to shoulder..

I went a little crazy just to take in your aura,
that energy controlling all of the fire in you.

Shoulder to shoulder
                                closer
                                         impossibly close..

I channeled that song to capture a spark
and maybe dive in and go for your heart. 

Loud 
         louder
                  heartbeats slam like a drummer.

Hitting my soul and demanding that I ask
‘Your moves beg me to run your red light. 
What the hell is your sign?’
