Leitmotif

By purr_verse

Wild, wild the dance
with blazing passion, move me
quick-step, pulse/eight to the bar
music master,
4-play me, now, faster, and
scherzo
(fly!)
glissando
(glide)
fall soft and in sibilance
velveteen dissonance
sigh
slide
in waves of sensation
waltz weave incantation
immersive subversive sound in-tox-I-c...

pulse/eight to the bar
eight to the bar
eight to the bar

forte! impromptu
crescendo
da capo me, da capo me
your rhythm so
entrancing
(oh)

maestro

ah now ah now
watch the beat!
(stop)
beat
(stop)
beat

beat

with rise and scream and devil drums,
the humming pulses
as she comes

signature time for one.more.
(breath)
recapitulation:
inamorata
vibrato
*trem-Oh-lo*

(breath)

your beating heart my metronome
my metronome
my metronome...

    i get caught in the swirl, the whirl of the dance, my heart flies and my feet can't stop their steps. wonderfully done, it catches you into a swing dance and doesn't lt you go.
