Dance with me

Dance with me

as the world plays symphonies

of time and distance and love and longing

hold me close to you

do not let me go

let me melt in this embrace of yours

when nothing else matters

but knowing that I am yours and you are mine

and in a moment that is honest

let me feel your breaths coming closer to mine

till there’s no you or me anymore

 

Dance with me

as I look into your eyes

as I draw you close to me

hold you, touch you, feel your presence

let me preen your eyes for the fire I’ve searched so long

let me hear your voice for thoughts long lost

allow me to seduce your soul

failing which, let me steal your dreams

failing that, let me be the obsession of your thoughts

failing that, let me be your pillar of support

and failing even that, let me have known a moment

when I knew your hand was once in mine

 

Dance with me

in the rain, among the meadows

by the river or under the lake

but ignore the beauties nature bestows

unless a crackle of thunder draws you close to me

ignore it all, and only feel my presence

as I have lost the concept of the world

finding my whole world right before me

And if all my moments were to make me choose

I’d not skip a beat before picking the one

where I found your head in my lap

and found my lips on your forehead

and my fingers intertwined with yours

a light breeze across my face

and my heart ready to jump out of my chest

barely able to restrain myself

from declaring to the sky that it has bestowed upon me

a truly wonderful moment for once, a moment

that I shall always remain indebted for

just enjoying the privilege of sharing one honest moment with you

where you were you, and I was I

and the universe simply refused to matter
