Slow Dance

Slow Dance

Love curves at the
sway of your back and
whispers songs,
shoulder soft 
at my cheek.

Lips at my brow
as your scent thickens,
quickens within me,
knee to knee, 
my right hand in your left.

One two three;
one two.
until only our
torsos dance.

That's the way it should be! I was always a lousy dancer, except for the shimmying and shaking I used to due while listening to the Beatles and the Stones. A sensual piece... really quite provocative! :))
