Her hair streaks a five alarm fire
the marble pillar couldn’t hide
Passion washing forth from the stage..
I hold my position in the light
She teases me a kiss
& from across the room..
it’s too hot
I’m forced to steal back my breath & close my eyes
The music inside of me changes
She’s just another dream Sonny
Keep your eyes closed..
Table 2 erupts in laughter
Another birthday.. it’s cute
She moves closer to the stage – I can feel her
A bead of sweat trickles down her neck
& she likes my music
Closing her eyes – she approaches the stage
Concentrations slips & possibilities collide
as my sax quietly says hello
& she begins to dance
A simple sway @ first
Almost apologetic – for being seduced
My face quivers & gives me away
But my hands hold & my song is strong
Leaning into the rhythm she begins to pulse
Illuminating everything in her path
My melody reaching out
Enters her light
& forms a rainbow
Daring me to open my eyes
& entertain her.. with a game of love
