Music

a poem by Chili Dog

Mirrors on the walls
Music in the air
A swaying body in the half-light of candles
She touches herself
Hands in her hair
Moving downward
Stroking, caressing, playing.

Her body moves gracefully
Gently to the melody
The eyes that are watching her
Make her come alive.
Alive in the half-light of candles
Music in the air.

Who is this figure?
This shadowy wraith
Half child, half woman
Exciting my senses
Fulfilling my dreams
Do I know her?

The shadows hide her
The music caresses her
Her hands reveal her.
Glowing skin, swaying limbs
Big, black eyes
A sweet, sweet smile
Melting, beckoning, seducing.

I reach out to touch her
She sways out of my reach
My heart beats faster
I know I must have her
To make me complete

She is my woman
I am her man
How can I keep her
And make her mine?
