jee426

The rhythm has played for weeks,
You tease me to dance,
You coax me to swirl.

The beat has lingered for a while.

I resisted that familiar tune,
Avoided the symphony my soul longed for.

But the music, the beat, the rhythm
Engulf my being.
I resisted dancing the way we used to.

You held my hands,
You teased my spirit.

You whispered in flirtatious tones,
“Don’t hold back—dance with me.”

The rhythm grew louder,
The beat enticed.
My hips swayed,
My lips sang the melody I once knew.

That night, I held your hands.
In that moment, I let the music consume my soul.
That night, I swayed, that moment I surrender.
