The Dance of Love




She carried Her heart, an exigency of life,
Like an iniquitous pain, too stubborn to leave.
And He played with His, radiant and hopeful,
Like the carefree winds in a field.

He was an extension of Her,
As colours are to a drawing and ripples to still water.
But for Him, She was His need,
Like water is to thirst, and a soft touch to teenage lovers.

He became Her sun,
Bright and warm, when coldness shrouded Her heart.
But for him, She was the soothing moon.
She brought to rest His galloping mind.

She was on the brink of an abyss, of that She was sure,
When He caressed Her sorrows and scars.
But there was no turning back now,
For He had exhumed Her soul from the dark wells of misery.

It was time, they both knew,
The wait had been too long.
They threw themselves into the flames of burning desire,
As anticipation impregnated their thoughts.

She shivered, as His lips met Hers,
So aggressive yet enchanting, their first kiss.
For once she knew what she wanted,
And she sighed, she sighed like never before.

  4. No men! I'm the least romantic person you'll ever find on this planet! My idea of romance is "You go read your book in that corner and let me read mine in this."
    This poem was a challenge actually. My friend had challenged me to write a poem about love-making. I tried to make it as toned-down as possible.
