one

the dance by Alistair Chong

together
alone in the melody
candlelight
washes over the steps
blanketed
in the sweet harmony
hold me like this
until forever's death

don't voice a word
don't move away
i hear our heartbeats in one
whispering what we already say
in the intimacy
of our dance

disoriented
in your deepest eyes
understanding
the child beneath the guise
i'm at home
in your ethereal touch
hold me like this
until time begins its march

don't voice a word
don't move away
i hear our heartbeats in one
whispering what we already say
in the intimacy
of our dance

rest myself on your shoulder
you on mine
together
we are each other
and we dance
