by snail, peeking out from her shell
Seduced by her eyes
i took her into my arms
Swaying to music

I longed to kiss her
Her deep longing, begging me
To rip her clothes off

Lovemaking can wait
I turned ardour into dance
Dancing with passion

You need the opposite
Vulnerability

You need exposure
That way you build inner strenght
You must balence life
