Frayed Feisty Threads - Book IV

Song of the Soul 6/21/96

Locked tenderly in your embrace,
Cheek against cheek we lay.
Playing my body like the master plays his violin
Slowly, the dance begins to build.


Rivulets of sweat trickle between us, mixing together as
The tango pulsates with the rhythm of our hearts.
I am ablaze with the wholeness of you;
And the oneness of us becomes a rolling wave pulling me under.
Time is infinite.


Sensuous music trembles on its high note,
Stretching, reaching together, we orchestrate the dance
As you cradle my essence, my being,
And my body shivers with your pleasure.


Awash in the waves, I drown as
The violin soars and sings
Its song of fulfillment.
You who took my heart
Returned...
To steal my soul.
