Meandering Musings of an Aimless Heart

I could dance
In your hands, held
Close and tight
Bioelectric impulse
Magnetically melding
Mind to body.
I wonder
At changing dreamscape
Shapes of history's attempt
To overwhelm mystery
But space and time
Conspire to manifest
A perfect now
Here, awake and
Secure.


I could dance
In your lips, freed
Embracing intimate motion
A cool breeze rising
From ocean depths
Fanning flaming arrow.
I ponder
Pretense giving way
To response hidden
In dusty shadow play
The light behind the puppet
Burning away accumulated
Waste, revealing
Firm strong
Core.


I could dance
In your eyes, lost
A traveler stepping
Out of lonely roads
Of infinity to rest
On blue incandescence.
I linger
Savor the moment
Deeper and deeper
The heart reaches racing 
Up a hill whose peak lies lost
In clouds of remembered
Pain and defeat blown away
By a whispered breath of
Hope.
