Some memories take away your breath. I still remember our first dance. I remember how time stopped. I remember how in a crowded room there was suddenly only you, the music and our heartbeat. I use the singular of heartbeat because there was only one. I dont remember breathing. I remember not needing air. I remember measuring the suduction of your sway, the way the music melted into your hips. You told me that you weren't good at following...I laughed, cause I was good at both. I followed, chasing my heart; not knowing where I might end up; but I wasn't going to shrink back now. I had to go the distance. I was trained to succeed, born to survive, capable of soaring with strength to carry cargo; but I only "needed" one. Here it was. I didnt understand how or why and sometimes I still don't. The catapillar doesn't know how it walks; it just does. So am I, happily trapped with energies I don't have reasons for but gratefully enjoy.
In the moment of the sway, everything else was devoured; even my need of myself. Secure as a mother's embrace, warm as home, "I" vanished as I watched the reflection of us. Then I knew I would never forget this moment when the atoms and I made eye contact and nothing else mattered. My purpose would never be denied. Two years of hunting and studying swayed away a lifetime of obstacles and here we are five years later still swaying. Baby, sway with me. This is the a beautiful song that has your hips tired from dancing in my mind all day.... It's been covered by many; but here are two of my favorites:
Dean Martin is one of the great voices and the future tends to use the milk of the past.
But the New Jack knows how to spin the generations of time to its own hip. Behold the PussyCat Dolls version...
But if you don't dig video, the words will simply do quite well.
Sway
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
