You Raise Your Knee
you raise your knee
then stamp the foot down in a quick thrust
as a mare in warning, snap your head back
we lock eyes
then meld in each other's arms
we move together
your hand upon my hip
my hand secure at her shoulder blade
the other arm extended hand in hand
she must be maintained in this position
to lead her in the curving moves across the floor
i am the Earth holding the Moon in our orbit
as we swirl thru our own universe
it is a dramatic reenactment
of a movie that inspired her, we began lessons
another notch in her list of accomplishments
it is an unending play at playing
i am forever grateful for the request
i may not be the most adept
not exactly someone to be envied
as we glide across the floor
but as i hold you
as the music surrounds us
your eyes hold me in
more than a magical moment
i have come to know, That's Amore
when you waltz into fantasy
knowing it is not imagination you are holding
thankful you never loved the Charleston
yet, if that is what it takes
i will add it to my burdens for love
there exists no cross too large to bear
and in spite of my initial thoughts
i love every moment with you
kind of like sitting at the table
what seems forever waiting
for you to walk in
dressed and ready to depart
and as soon as my eyes
fill with you now ready
i never remember a moment spent waiting
life is all about enchantment
and that exists only when dreams
walk in life hand in hand
