Last Dance Tonight

Rituals feast on the edge of a dance floor.

         The tilt of an eyebrow,

         The curl of a smile

May oft be perceived as guiltless flirtation

Or bold invitation, sensual style

As the beat and the rhythm both

Heighten the game

Fueling the flame while passions burn deep,

And joy steals the venue

Creating a genuine safe panacea of memories to keep.

 

Yet joys are but vaporous whispers of air,

Pretenders who dare mask reality’s bite,

Purveyors of flight to a world unafraid,

Rescuing maidens like galloping knights.

 

So, cling to your partner as heaven recedes

In the music that pilots to limitless flight,

To linger the moment that lives in those eyes

And captures the prize of

         The last dance tonight.
