Gershwin's Seduction A dance thru time, melody and rhyme old jazz shared with a new heart, my sweet Embraceable You. Warmth of touch, a kiss that says so much. They Can’t Take That Away From Me. I close my eyes and hold you near. Harmonic rhythm disguises soft sultry moans within your throat beneath my wandering lips. They All Laughed, I smile and press you closer till awareness leaves us breathless, closing our eyes to the world. In a crowd totally alone staying close as your heat melts away my clothes. Anyone watching will surely know though the layers remain bodies sway in ancient dance. My hands along your back caress, loving you with softly whispered words, your body languidly moving with mine as you shudder safe in my arms. Taking your hand leading you from the floor, watching you blush as people return who never left our sight even when Love Walked In. Knowing we had shared more than we should ever there allowed, yet Aren’t You Kind Of Glad We Did? EWDrake © 2000 (A tribute to a day of old when romance was a bit less bold, and far more deeply felt.
