The Choreograph of Deliverance

The Choreograph of Deliverance

If I were to hold you
With breathless perspiration  naked in my arms
Would the vocal ache between us
Speak of desire unabated
In such passion unmasked

Would the anthology of our lives
Bring its lasting conclusion
To throw wide the barricades
And surrender their dreams in exchange for conviction
Would we refuse to hide anymore

Should you lay sleeping beside me
Our hearts in tempo precisely measuring the beat of love
With the brush of your kiss
The verbalization of my caresses
Bring us on to deliverance

Will the light of your eyes then linger
A footnotes mystery yet to discover
And as I ponder on pioneering embraces
Would you also search for the pristine
So we may commune with another language

We would dance to our own choreograph
In place of some other threadbare script  
Will we utter words sealed by truth
Would such a marriage of essence and trust
Bring us to each other

Will this aspiration that I place in union
Of unseen and secret connection
Will these whispers of possibility accomplish their task
To one way or another find you
And bring us on to deliverance
