Day 32

( Cross Posted )

To a fretless electric bass guitar...

I tickle you gently first
my fingers playfully
stroking coaxing
melodious sounds
deep and rich
from within you
only for so long
can I wait
before a pinch
a pull and a tug
you're almost
a percussive instrument
in my hands
gentle slaps
louder harder sounds
an animal growl
bringing out the devil in me
making me wild
I make everyone dance
to the tune I play on you
My slender instrument
of wood and string
smooth, harsh
together we can do
anything

(no subject)

Smoke surrounds us
fire between us
yet its flames are cold
when measured against
the fires that burn
within us

we dance

arms outstretched
to either side
keeping the fire
at our centre
not closing
not getting further
for separation is pain
a longing for
an intangible presence
but touching
is a new danger
releasing from within
all consuming flame

we dance

never closing
never parting
circling warily
hungrily
passion wars
with protection
desire balances
against security
the world around us
fades into the night
and all that's left
is our dance

we dance

forever
