[hometext] => just gotta go with the flow sometimes...my fave quote was always to learn as you go
[bodytext] => With some hesitation to the dance she did go A curious glowing cherubic face Eyes hauntingly aglow Under the cover darkness Draped in rose petal softness She sweeps the floor parting the sea Until she broke against a paradise shore, Thrown into a warm embrace. Caught by surprise, so unexpectedly. He looks down at what he had found, What butterfly is this in my net? One that I cannot bare to set free Unlike those that now flutter inside me His skin glistened with perspiration His hand fell over her shoulder, Smooth marble to his touch as it fell down her arm She scanned this face Eyes shrouded by the dimness still soft and endless Black tendrils wet fell over as a curtain half raised over a stage Calling for her to take a peak, to see if for her there is a role to play. The slightest tremble in her skin As she boldly reaches hold of him And as if marionettes with no mind or control The descend onto the dance floor Destination unknown. Time does not exist Nothing but dance, step after step. Hesitation becomes acceptation Uncertainty replaced with confidence. The music fades Time finds them, whisking them apart, One last song to seal the night, His warm body and sweet sweaty smell lingers His new welcome touch Her desire to know him through and through All drive this nervous churning pit in her stomach Her slick skin and whirlwind of hair Her delicacy and strength Her eyes, her brilliant hypnotic eyes! This brilliant butterfly A few precious moments and she may be lost The song begins and they all close their eyes The last song to seal the night “ I don’t know this song,” he whispers, “I don’t know this dance, But I know exactly how I feel about you Time is running out please….” The fear in his voice the dread in his eyes He can’t lose her tonight! A smile so soft and smooth like a petal was taken From a soft pink rose and spread across her face A hint of amusement in her eyes She holds up her finger to his trembling lip “ Amor vincit omnia, time makes no difference here.” The words tumble out as though from a songbird. He is mesmerized by this sound. As she guides him sweet laughter rings in his ears His tense stiff body melts into their motions His laugh a harmony to hers. Her reassuring eyes, those wise old eyes, “Stop thinking about tomorrow, Life’s a dance you learn as you go.” [comments] => 1 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 2 [informant] => antares [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )
