Terry Trainor Poet Classicism

The Dance

I thought of you when you first held my hand
With secret pressure that could only be real
Your youthful heart began slowly to expand
And it’s first lovers pulse had beat for me
Then I lived in thee

I thought of you when you caught my eye
In deepest silence yours fixed upon mine
Poured a melting flood full of sympathy
And mingled in my soul with halted time
Then I lived in thee

I thought of you, when at first your arms
Around my waiting form were flung
When at my bosom heaved your charms
While on our lips our elated spirits hung
Then I lived in thee

When health was strong, youth was wild
When rivals envied and the ladies smiled
When through the dances, bounding light
When holding tight as the time was right
Then I lived in thee
