Consummate Dancer
I once told you I loved you
I really wasn't sure
That's where I started
With a simple lie, at your door
I stumbled, You swayed
You swayed around in answer
At times, my love
O Consummate Dancer
You left me breathless
Shorn of pretence
And the music,... paused,
in awed silence
B'twixt the suitors that sought your glance
Fool that I was, with my head, I danced
With senses that thrilled, at your smiles
Those first ten thousand miles
For every step I complicated
Your's simply stayed divine
Till I moved to the beat of my heart
Knowing we'd be fine
By then I'd spent lifetimes
In your arms and in your eyes
When only a moment
Was enough to realise
That when You tell me You love me
You really are so sure
And that's what keeps me forever Dancing at your door.
-Suraj Mani
Fool that I was, with my head, I danced
