It begins with the first slow step

Then a quick side step

Carefully encircling

Each encouraging

Feelings surfacing

But this is worsening

Two slow steps back

Another sidestep

Then one gives in

With an outstretched hand

Fingertips slowly slide into his palm

Their eyes meet

The moment they touched they knew

One reluctantly withdrew

The souls of lovers that fate drew

And yet fate knew

The struggles, the pain, the hurt

Together this would be reversed

How they have searched

Both feeling cursed

The darkness dispersed

They thirst

A moment of silence

Before the guidance

Two steps foward, shoes touching

Now blushing

Their crushing

Now entwining

Limbs between limbs

Bodies pressed against

His chest to her breasts

Desire long suppressed

Their feelings confessed

Content and expressed

The lovers now rest
