Slow Dance

Inspired by this song: https://youtu.be/NRxGFGNCT_c

~

I want you on my chest
and your chin on my neck -
something delicate, silent, and sweet,

for this house and its candles
are lonely and cold,
and the glow on the windows is bleak.

And I crave icy hands
on the small of my back -
on my skin, kneading in for the heat,

for the air would be warmer
with you pressed to me
as we swayed to this heavenly beat.
