If…

If you want to dance with me
Put your hands on my neck
Mine around your waist
Reaching the edge of the curve
Yours combing my head

With a smooth rhythm we’ll glide
Down the track of dry leaves
In the shelter of the tree
Roof that covers us from the rain
We’ll kiss
As if it was the first time
Like when we first met

Discreet and gentle at first
After a brief pause
Then
When our eyes meet…
The kiss will be long
Juicy and deep
Exact proof of the need
Of our souls.

The bodies will unwind
As if time had stopped
Four years ago
Under a similar shadow
An identical footprint
But with a love
That crossed the distance
… Instead of diminishing
It has been enriched.
