shadow dance (pt.5 fin)

a slight stutter reveals vulnerability.
when he taps the raw emotion
i coach him in his first steps
he stumbles
nearly falls
but stands straight.
i caress his face
his eyes smile
tells me exactly what's in his heart.

shadow dance (pt.4)

her scent lingers.
i sit in a train
watch the stops melt into a my reflection.
traces of her face
come to the surface
her morning voice says "hi"
then tries to hold in a smile
i take in her beauty
and run my lips over hers.
someone bumps me
breaks my thought
fragments of the morning
help to brush away
the crush of rush hour.

shadow dance (pt.3)

the body never lies
neither her laugh nor her smile.
we surrender to now
the conspiracy of success
takes our hands in a loving embrace.

shadow dance (pt.2)

she told me her secrets
and like i promised
i forgot them at the end of the conversation
but i kept the seed
in order to navigate her inner workings.
she read me like a book
revealing myself to me
i sat watched the show of my life
pass by in small colorful square pixels.
i dreamt of a fantasy
and she agreed take part in the show.
in the dressing room
we heard the audience talk.
we said not a word to each other
and to this day
it is one of our memorable conversations.

shadow dance (pt.1)

she didn't say a word
just looked at me.
her brown eyes connected with mine
and i knew i would enjoy the journey.
