What the heart wants is a slow dance;   
The floor is too fast.

A touch too quick is friction in the brush.

The pulse grinds steel against jagged steel   
Short shock sparks mis-labeled matchboxes   
For a miss-matched lit match.

But the heart wants a slow dance   
Friction-less fire.

The hot before the touch.   
The heat that brings the communion.

So many ways to say I want you.

Why's lust always fire?

The flower devours the rain.  
The wind wants the seed.  
The Earth swallows every tree.

How can anyone (anywhere) win anything   
Without you right here with me?

The heart wants a slow dance.  
Demands one: Now!

Slow slows the strong song of thunderclouds. 

Lightning! Flash-spark! Light show!  
Wonderful!

But:   
Real power rocks  
Rolls, growls, grows  
Insatiable immediate  
Clouds, loud clouds.

Hold. Want.  
Hard. Hard.

Until the sky   
Can't  
Hold. Want.  
More. More.

Goes hot  
a  
Lightning Shot.

The thunder  
Shocked, starts  
The slow roll  
Again.
