I blush
under your gaze,
so intense
is the Fire
in your eyes
as you look at me ~
I can't help but believe...
There are moments
that sigh
as we move
ever closer
in this ancient dance
of Passion's Promise ~
I tremble
with the Knowledge
of what must be...
I hear the Music
between us,
a rhythm all our own
waiting to be discovered
& cherished...
I watch your hands
as they reach out
for me
in Wonder
& Delight ~
the anticipation of Love
is wild & free ~
I am breathless
with Vision...

Needless to say, you're leaving me breathless too, Wanda.
-
Uhhh huhhh...me, too...on both counts...
I never learned to dance at all when I was younger, but I can definitely slow dance...The obvious sensuality & yearning involved in the tango is breath~taking...Makes this ol' (former) librarian's heart go pitty~pat...
Thank you, Rich...I'm glad you enjoyed it, my Friend...

Excellent!
My good friend, Ancientson suggested your poetry to me and I saw this and cliced you up here. This is a very good poem on love, (my favorite subject), and my friend was right about your wrietting, it is so heart felt. -
awesome
dancing.. i think is the most passionate thing in the world.. you can express everything you want to with a certain touch, and a certain movement.. this is a great write with all the imagery needed for twenty poems.. i like you little picture too.. -
Nice write. Not really the 'hope' I was thinking it'd be about, but still nice job.
-
EXCEPTIONAL!
this is so delightfully sensual, one cannot help but be aroused by the passions you've inflamed with this stunning presentation. an excellent, excellent invitation to the dance--simply amazing, poet!
(((HUGS))), love and merry Christmas, karla.
-
WOW! the passion and intense fire in this poem is esasily picked up on, if your picture up top wasn't enough. the fire that burns throughtout this entire poem is wonderful! its very consistant and you don't go off and loose a little of that fire ever and thats really important to have in all poems but especailly love poems for so many write of 'love' its almost overrated. another gret job!
-
POOT!
I like it.......It makes me want to start dancin' wiv' my hunny bunny. Yeah!!! -
Fantastic
You are fantastic. This is so sensual -so YUMMY. The love that makes it even more tender is so beautifully incorporated as well. I loved this -
Very nice. You can picture the sceen so well.
-
breathless with vision.the imagery that brought everything into perspective.the passion is topnotch and so felt throughout.you write with true feelings.i enjoyed this.
-
Very nice write. especially liked the last line - so beautiful! loved the structure, was very easy to get into. Keep it up!
-
wow, this is totally breathtaking. I can almost feel myself blushing as well, and that's a thing to say from a guy. haha. The image of two people passionately dancing was well described here, in the female's point of view. I can almost see the gradual change of the woman from stiff and shy to giving in to passion. Now I want to learn how to dance.
Rev -
Oooo! Saucy....hehe. How very...seductive. I like the way you draw the reader in, entice them a bit more and then spin them on a rollercoaster of beautiful imagery and fantastic words. Well done - AGAIN! My goodness, I could never get tired of reading your works. They're too damn good!
