Coaxing

swing | dance | twirl

The bass is pounding to the rhythm of my heart and coaxing me to swing my limbs in unfamiliar movements. My muscles feel limp and my mind is filled with the music and only the music, and yet somehow I feel more energised than I ever have before. I could do this all night long if the club didn’t close.

While I’m dancing he catches my eye. The mischievousness in his dark eyes is tempting but I know that he will take me away from the music and the freedom I’m feeling. The beat wins and I turn my back, twirling away.
