Last dance

Dance with me my darling  
for I have considerable debt  
the only redemption  
I have is this moment    
 
rest the ragged edge  
of your skirt onto my bare foot  
toes dug deep into engaged earth  
and let me hear your vacant breath  
recite the just off beat perfection  
of love lost in asymmetry  
 
the tiny scar above your lip  
reminds the world to bring you  
to my focus  
as I am rendered helpless  
by that micro metered  
up-lift  
in your smile  
 
your laugh,  
despite the armageddon of intimacy  
invites a Jericho falling of walls  
and I surrender  
but  
 
I still owe  
and  
 
can not be returned  
so  
 
dance with me my darling  
and let every note count
