In the Lovers' Dance - Perfect

in the lovers’ dance 
the place of freedom 
my mind still drifts  
with no wisdom 
allowing tension to build 
carving out to relish the tantric pleasure 
tenderness of which equals no charm
emotionally vulnerable  
reminiscing the fact 

we aren’t here to be perfect 
we are here to know 
perfect is who we are 

in the lovers’ dance 
breathing slower and deeper 
our breaths synchronize 
as we awake our sensual grid
to dance with all our senses 
to this exotic yet erratic music 
as we float on pleasure with our eyes 
glued to our twirling movements   
while absorbing all the input 
our senses are getting
it is not just dance 
it is about ecstasy 
rekindling our sexual chemistry
restoring your faith in a whole man 
you say, because now you know 

we aren’t here to be perfect 
we are here to know 
perfect is who we are 

in the lovers’ dance 
where you soar in your own ecstasy 
and your pleasure is sacred to be consummated
there is find solace and tremble slightly 
in this lovers’ dance 
as your eyes meet my gaze 
i learn to accept my stance 
whether joyful or bland 
for now, I know very well 
how to uncover the mud
that’s keeping me from seeing 
that I am a perfect being 
for perfection is but the child of time
and perfect lovers’ dance 
even in memory 
is not common
