Chance

Chance

You can play the game of chance..
Flirt with strangers,
And maybe ask one or two to dance;
let them waltz you around the floor,
until the clock begins to yawn;
then say goodnight at your front door,
With your heart and body torn,
between the bedroom and the chance,
That you might just ruin it there..

Perhaps it’s not to be.
Maybe you should take it slow.
Maybe you should say goodbye.
Maybe it’s best not to know,
what complications could multiply
from a simple change of heart..
But I know you play the game of chance,
I’ve followed the footfalls of your dance.

Her heart quivers
she wants him
she has since
the sweet tender dance

The carrress of his thumb
on a sensitive palm
all but tore her defenses down
She is scared and excited
and wonders if she should
kiss him tendly at the door
or really kiss him
and take the chance for more

But... is he worth the chance?

[rrw]

Ah, sweet romance!
But for me, I never could learn
the steps to ever take that dance.
Quite club-footed I am on the floor
with my arms clumsily embracing amour,
stepping on her toes with a witty but pitiful
one-two-three, one, two, three
muttering on my lips.

[vixen]

So..
She gently kisses those sultry lips
giggles at his shocked surprise
Entranced
he gazes into laughing eye
Wondering if he see promise there
..or wicked sultry lies

The best dance of my life
did not begin with the chance press of bodies,
hands clasped, sweat running and commingling
in a combined flashflood of nervous need
and the lust for just one taste of the unknown...

The best dance of my life...
It began when minds pressed
one against the other...
Thoughts melded and congealed...
Transformed in the sharing
and became something more...

Hearts beating in tempo, together...
Hearing one the other without the need
of an ear pressed to a chest cavity...

Spirits dancing in mid-air...
Without the need of bodies...
Or proximity...Already wrapped,
one about the other, no need for physicality...
The reach and encirclement of arms...

The best dances happen,
in my opinion...
Long before
one physically
reaches the dance floor
with one's partner...
The best dances,
begin in the mind...
And the best sex,
is always the physical encounter,
you waited the longest to have...

That's just my opinion...
But, then again, my experience
with dancing, is limited at best...

chance is i unknowingly gambled at the gaming table
of romance, trustingly putting my heart into his hands,
not knowing if when he took it, the action was nothing more
than a roll of the dice for him...and i so much meat
on the plate...unclaimed and named...chicken or pheasant
under glass...the flavor, the piquancy, the rarity
of the repast, irrelevant...as chance for him...
i was just a fast food snack taken on the run; or worse...
a game for the seriously bored...not, something more...
that was the chance i took when i put my hand into his...
sometimes, as in the reality of such things,
chance is i get confused...wonder if i am, just a game...
this heart an inanimate object about to be thrown
from skilled fingers to roll across the gaming table...
chance is, the only thing i know for sure...
is he's still devouring me, one bite, one swallow
at a time...and wiping the grease and marrow
of me from his grinning face with glee...

Very good write. We all have to take chances in our lives. Some turn out good while others bring tears.
