***** Dancing

The baseline throbbed

And the chorus echoed

With liquid confidence

And a substance filled mind

As I approached from behind

 

I put my right hand on her hip

My left hand clinching my pabst

She turn around and said,

*“I thought you were going grab my ***

 

I spoke no words, just grinned

She smiled

I hadn’t had this much confidence

in a long while.

She whipped her hair and my heart went wild

 

“Do you want do dance with me?”

She whispered in my ear

I placed my other hand on her hip

My beer hit the floor

I whispered back

“That and so much more”

 

*“I want to move

And make time stand still

I want you to whimper at my will

And rise to my roar”*

 

*“I want to show you how good I am with

My words

And my hands

And my tongue

And my lungs”*

 

*“I want to show you the world

I want to paint portraits of mountains

Before climbing them

And from mountain tops I want to

Draw the sky

I want our eyes

To gaze at the stars within us”*

 

*“I want to learn everything about you

As I show you everything I am”*

 

*“I want to dance for you

As you dance for me”*

 

We danced all evening

 

And due to my success on this night

It was the highest I had ever been.
