Our Secret Dance

by michaelcahill

all time stands still as I behold your face
engraved within these eyes for countless years
My heart and soul surrounded by your grace
The thrill of ecstasies ignite my fears

I stumble forward with intentions bold
for time is not your master I can see
Perhaps you have your reasons to withhold
Embraced--I feel the fire you've saved for me

In blindness, we indulge our hearts desire
but practical and honest is recalled
The consequences rise and they are dire
we're called to honor—fantasy is stalled

Now worlds apart we dance our dance alone
Yet still we smile to know what we have known

It may also be about longing for love or unrequited love, but again for a human. That's it, if it's a love poem involving a human or humans, then you'll be okay.
