The Mysteries

Beech trees whispered with
their summer breath
inviting us to dance.
You kicked off your cheap high heels
and sank your toes into the grass.

I held your waist
and lifted you high
in the moon-flower fragranced air,
span you round then set you down,
pulling the ribbon from your hair.

You put an arm around me
and slipped your hand in mine
and so we stood,
motionless a while,
then as to a calling in the blood,
you stepped away and danced.

You moved to an ancient rhythm
riding the maenad flow,
the free and frenzied weaving
of a harmony I can't know.

Then when the dance
was done with you,
when your passion had been spent
you took your ribbon from me
and tied it round my wrist.

As warm fat rain began to fall,
the sky and trees' applause,
you laughed and shrugged
and led me home.

This poem was wonderful!!  So romantic, with those rhymes placed in just the right place to make it seem so natural...and original.  I loved it!!
