Midnight Dance
A dance at midnight
two faint shadows in the moonlight
gliding across the terrace
stretching into morning sun rise.
No desire for an end
even as the day awakes
set the music to restart
rewind and play continuous
over and over and over again.
Was it our song they played?
So many songs listened and heard
were ours alone to be shared
ever newer ones written on the stars
gathering those emotions of the midnight dance.
Close your eyes
let me touch your skin
soft and caressing
as the music plays
in the background of evening light.
What song is it playing?
The title and the words escape me
but for this moment, does it matter
as we press close to one another
and languish in the midnight dance.
Forever it is here I die in dreams
in your arms the moments eagerly recalled
kept in imagery and loving care
those minutes once lost to time
but safe in memories of the midnight dance.
Play the song again.
