Swing Step

Eyes lock
Hands meet
Keep the rhythm
In my feet

I follow your lead
As we whirl round and round
Though your gaze makes me blush
I refuse to look down

You pardon my wrongs
And laugh at my mistakes
Every misstep forgiven
In our mental dance space

We debate the small things
In between every spin
Need time to consider
Send me out, in again

I throw my head back
And laugh up to the sky
There's a rush in my veins
As both skirt and hair fly

Apprehensions are banished
Time passes unmarked
In both of our eyes
Curiosity sparked
