We make our own music

I want to grow old dancing with you…

Moving close to you

reaching out my left hand

placing it gently on your waist

other hand softly takes yours

pressing our palms together

smiling down at you

we gently begin to move

and sway
I pull you close

your head on my chest

and we dance

step... step... sway

step... step... sway

kissing your head softly

step... step... sway

we make our own music

I feel your warm fingers

clasped in my hand

my hand slips further

drifting down your back

pulling you into me tight
you hear my heartbeat

as your cheek rests

on my chest

and we step… step… sway

we make our own music

our feet shuffle softly

across the floor

swaying… swaying

heartbeats dancing

with each step

we make our own music

swaying slower now

barely moving

leaning in

mouth hovering

over your ear

breathing softly

motionless

hearts

dancing still.

"We make our own music..." Loved it.

Beautiful composition of poetry you've come up with. There's some kinda bashing beat of love hidden deep in your very words that allows love---spirits to get magnetic with love---pool (poetic words). I like the imagery you've created around. So simple. Romantic. Heartfelt &, of course, very productive. For a while, I just thought, am not just reading but watching two lovers dancing .. & loosing up their feet floor---to---floor.. having emotions to hearts... caring for each other's softness. Excellent work. Enjoyed reading your work.

No sound greater than the song of love... a very romantic poem, mixed with a hint of sultry.

My friend, so good to have you by! Thank you. Drove by your neck of the woods a few weeks back on the way to Yosemite... never seen it so hot and dry.

[Corset]

Extremely romantic, and what every person in love would love to hear, the breath of the dance of love in their ear, a very charming write.

The intimacy of dance...
Gives me tingles thinking about dancing with someone I love.
Love. It's forever, and to grow old together is a gift that is priceless.
Beautiful poem.

Your words are so kind, and flow in the music so well. Thank you. Yes, life is a dance made so much sweeter flowing into it with the one you love. May you always be found dancing.
