We can dance

We can dance
And lose ourselves in a moment
Because that is what dancing is for

We can sway
Holding each other tightly
To confirm our love once more

We can be melody
As music inhabits us
We let our emotions go

We can swing
Together to a rhythm
Fierce, suggestive, gentle, slow

We can slink
Sexy, sultry, driven
Gliding across a floor

We can rhumba
To a beat of pure, rollicking fun
Then breathless, cry for more

We can jig
Jumping, clapping, heel toe
Folding, peeling struts our stuff

We can rock
Big, bold and beautiful
Freestyle is enough

We can ballet
Oh glorious presence
Beauty and grace refined

We can improvise
On a living room floor
Every style combined 

We can watch
Absorbed in the majesty of human flight
Awash with the joy of life

And you my love
Can dance with me
Dance with me my wife

So, dance with me my partner
Hold me in your arms
And look into my eyes so deeply
You free me from all harm

We can dance

  1. So beautifully done. I like the emphasis and repetition of “We can…” bringing in each possibility for love and connection. Thanks for joining in with the prompt. 🙂
