Dancing To A Slow Death

Incredible song that they are dancing to.....

Dancing To a Slow Death

Darkness falls

And with it........

The hunger

The longing for a soft caress,

A tender touch, a hard embrace,

Building to a violent need

And release of what’s inside.

You watch me

From the shadows.........

Breathing

Still as wind that does not blow

And rain that does not fall

Waiting like a cat with prey

Playing with it’s dinner.

And I, with my defenses down

On full alert.......

Dance in the mirror

In candle’s glow

And summer’s rising heat

Pretending I am quite alone

But knowing you are there.

In silks, I twirl

My body......

Like a breeze

Move my hands in beckoning

And my feet in silent pleas

The music swells and I can feel

Your dark eyes touch my skin.

Beyond the room

In midnight’s garden.....

Behind the trees and shining moon,

Your black hair laying 

Upon your shoulders,

Your black eyes glowing,

And tasting me.

I turn at your whisper

And there you are.....

In the doorway like a dream that comes

Before the break of dawn

Clad in black from head to toe

With white touches at your throat

And the sight of you makes me weak.

“Don’t fall yet.” you say

And catch me..........

In arms of steel

“The night is young and so are you,

And the sun is fast asleep.”

And you hold me till I catch my breath

Then you take it away again.

Wetting my mouth with wine

I drink............

Knowing that wine can’t satisfy

The thirst I have, have always had

Since I laid my eyes on you,

Since I put my hands on you,

Since I gave myself to you.

The music commands

And we obey.........

My arms round your shoulders

Your arms round my waist

The room awash in shades of gold,

Like the flickering fire

That’s building between us.

I know you will leave me

Before the sun rises........ 

As you always have

And you always will

But for now, in your eyes

Is all I’ll ever need, is all I’ll ever want

And the sunlight be damned.

Midnight passes

And we stand still as stone.......

Drown in the yearning, die in desire

Lifting my face, I wait for your kiss

Burning with hunger that can never be quenched

The shadows of night put their soft arms around us

And to the music of passion, we slow dance again.
