Shall We Dance

Shall we dance once more?

One more turn upon the dance floor
 a spin, a twirl, an embrace, heart beats soar
unfurled;
 twisting, turning, gliding in a waltz curled
 shutting out the hectic paced world
until
 only you and me are entwined
 in that final thrill we find.

A slow step, fluid beauty along the floor explored
  sentimental bodies with memory touch familiar chord
enamored 
 in that final mesmerizing trance
  we, the duet in that final dance
solitary note
 before the band goes home in applause
 as the dream awakens from its pause.

Just one more melancholic vision
 that lives in our life's complete decisions
shall we
 dance the dance of the immortal and the young
 when you and I held dear the songs unsung
hold on
 one last turn, one last dance together
 let this memory live on forever.
