the resonance of romance


         (come what sorrow can

          it cannot countervail the exchange of joy

          that one short minute gives me in her sight – shakespeare)

 

oozing essence of evermore

i lead you unto the dance floor

with hand in hand and hands on hips

cheek to cheek becomes lips to lips

 

parts of the eye lack light receptors

missing frames in the projector

they say the brain fills in the blanks

for this sweet mercy i give thanks

 

that god within his wisdom knew

if i could behold all of you

i’d be vanquished, helpless quarry

exposed to your shekinah glory

 

we end the dance within a dip

i hold you there until my lips

capture yours for one more kiss

moments like these are reminisced

so in this moment i will linger

with my ring upon your finger
