[ayoub]

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

oh I love this piece too. It's breathtaking and very honest in feeling.

It just came to me with the music... the image of two people dancing around a fire, arms out, circling, but not meeting...

Thank you hon :)
