Maiden Dance
– Poetry by Jessica Rodriguez Damian –
Featured in issue 16 of Dreamers Magazine.
One night is all it took
hazels eyes met
tanned hands grazed
pink lips moved
forming delicate words
spoken in a whisper
no one else could hear a thing.
Shawn Mendes songs
shook the whole house
our bodies swayed side to side
trying to be closed books
wanting to spill ourselves
covering the dance floor
full of letters, looks, lingering hands.
Sweat dripped down faces
swollen feet begged for rest
no time for one, only to dance
exhilarating twirls, shaking hips,
two souls mingled and found
one more reason to keep
touching-talking-kissing.
You and me—pen and paper
drawn to each other
meant to fill out the page:
sonorous laughter—dad jokes
swift and quick shy glances
nibbled ham sandwiches—
hiding the gourmand in us.
One night is all it took
two people fall in a flash
one instant freezes the moment
showing our best angles and light
we filter our foibles
not wanting to come on too strong
drive you away instead of closer.
