I Dance

I dance to the beat of my heart To the rhythm of the blood pulsing through My veins A rhythm only I hear And though you may move in time Your heart keeping cadence with mine I am a being alone Independent and free Even as your hands mould me And I thrill at your touch My breathing may quicken at a featherlite Brush of your lips To the pulse at my throat And you understand the rhythm, yet I am alone I rejoice in the music that is me As you surround me Envelope me Sink into me And I feel the beat that is you Drum in your chest And the rhythm that is you melds With the rhythm that is me And for one moment we beat as one I know that even as you possess me And I possess you I am alone You Are alone And yet we are one One song, One life, One meaning Alone
