“Just make me feel something”
I say as I pull you into me,
Slow dancing drunk in the kitchen.
You say nothing and you hold me so firm and yet so gentle.
You make me feel fragile and fascinating.
I can feel your heart drumming,
A tear threatens to cool my skin in the midsummer night heat.
You so smoothly manipulate my body to the sounds of Otis Redding.
I can feel my brain slamming on the breaks to try and savor this moment.
I refuse to think about how soon I’ll be home alone again in my frigid reality.
The movement and your body keeps me grounded in the clouds.
I close my eyes and surrender completely,
You take me away on a journey I so desperately need and to be honest,
I don’t give a damn if you’re pretending.
If it is all a lie, it’s the sweetest one I know and I’ll tell you time and time again,
“Lie to me, just make me feel something

"There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good." ~Edwin Denby
"She had to dance — she just had to!... The music seemed to move in her body, moving through her. She leaped high and flung out her arms and oh, how she smiled! As she danced, Clara forgot her sorrow." ~Amy Ehrlich, The Girl Who Wanted to Dance, 2009
Enjoyed your words and how you escape, even for just a bit, into a world that makes you happy.
