he asked me to dance
with his eyes
though his lips
never parted
for fear of rejection
yet, steadily
his hands moved over me
and took the lead
on the floor
beside our shoes
and hurried removal
of the space between us
we were grace
our movements svelt
I felt the partnership
blossoming
keeping time
with our melodious
breath and whispers
moving with conviction
with twists
and style, we turned
possibilities
in to reality
