Suffocating

This passion…

burning inside

pulls me into your gravity

where your naughty nature

leaves me suffocating

with little air

in which to breathe

Shall we dance

tango with me

into a haunting

erotic equation.

Let the music move us

forming displays of love

across the dance floor

raising our temperature

up 180 degrees above-

I’m pacified by

the delicate details

that complete

the bond that

so beautiful

makes us.

Our shadows slowly

fade away

into the night

Softly listening

from a distance

the trumpets and saxophone

diminishing further

into nothingness.

Capturing the beauty

of the dance

still flowing between us
