Etch'd Tenderness~

etching tenderness into easeful spaces

   of dance's fierce impassion'd tango's beat

you swept me off my sensible feet

       to dip me low to new heights fancy

took off in flight with stardust'd wings

    releasing the scintillating vibrations

          of my soul's desirous compulsions

floating on resplendent Chantilly lac'd clouds

          never to touch upon earthy ground again

[Tai Ryens]

I believe you've expressed either the anticipation that accompanies you when you are swept off your feet by a companion and taken on an adventure that rescued you from a problematic environment in which you were in distress, or you speak of a lover who's elevated you further than the boundaries that ecstasy allows for and has taken you to places beyond that you've had no idea existed . . . Given your usual content, I suspect the latter, but I could be wrong *shrugs*. Well done, I enjoyed the illustration you paint with your words.

Astute in your assumptions my friend, the latter would be gospel...for a little while anyway, thanks so much Tai.
