mon Canadien parfait

oh amour
blind love that I have never met
sweet and innocent love
vous
je pense àin
distant memory
and distant land

your eyes speak your native tongue
in your heart
I see the loneliness of life
I see your truth set free
but you withhold from me
du monde
de vous-même

I imagine you dancing
loving this world that has betrayed you
and you twirl
you twirl as if you have tangoed forever
la danse
most sensual
desirous dance
in my arms I embrace you
each footstep
each breath you breathe into mine
with every touch 
the slip of your hand upon my back
your lips nearly kissing mine
so close now
so close

the dance floor thrives with hundreds of lovers
we all twirl in
danse majestueux
mon amour doux
and now
with too many lovers
the floor is ours
through our eyes
our
hips
our
passions
our
caress
our embrace
your hand brushes over my face
into each other's eyes we gaze
we taste our breath again
your lips pass over mine
amour délicieux
amour sensual
amour parfait

with your essence in the air
our delicate love affair
the smell of your skin
my lips pass over your ear
I ingest your scent
as you ingest mine
first step forward
other step back
next step forward
twirling you slow
embrace you again
move my hand
down the nape of your neck
and I drown
amour
I drown in your eyes
noyade dans vos yeux
and this world
is our world
notre monde

your eyes tell me of your sorrow
the tears form in mine
Je suis désolé
can I take you away from here
love you forever
will you be mine
just mine
alone for all time
pendant toute l'heure
for all eternity
my muse
mon s'est levé
honeyed child
mon Canadien parfait

for she tells me such endearing things
splendid things
I whisper in her ear
I tell her
merci mon cher
she reciprocates with a gentle kiss
and she leans close
whispers back to me
juste étant je

as the dance begins to fade
I dip her
grasping her lower back
running my fingers over her bosom
toward her stomach
as the chill of romance tingles my being
and the finale encroaches
she raises to meet me
face
to
face
her eyes swallow me
engulf me
so entranced am I
