KNOTTED IN THE DANCE

   

KNOTTED IN THE DANCE

Our eyes in a silent promise locked,

The way only strangers can

Perhaps foretelling of lovers’s, unfrocked.

Languored and breathless ran.

 

You, I Think, blushed in surprise,

Though I really don’t remember,

For I, like a thief rushed window pried,

Saw only endless splendour.

 

Your face laying against my chest explored

And traced the furrow’d line

Though indifferent to that wound ignored,

The scar I tried to hide

 

You, now with arms around my neck entwined,

My hands, the master of your curved hips,

Knew how with charms, bound to defect, divined,

To lands where time stands unperturbed in eclipse

 

Few hovered the hall that night as we,

Caught in love’s magical trance

Two lovers enthralled in flight shall be

Forever knotted in the dance.

 

This poem was written by Richard Robinson.

 

 

Communicating love involves something very special that Relationship Therapists call 'The Languages of Love'. Dance that involves two people in close, often intimate contact, is one of the few activities that ticks all of the Love Languages boxes.

 Known as the “Dance of Love,” the rumba's slow and sensual movements know how to ignite the passion between two partners. Whether you use a traditionally wide frame or have a more intimate hold, you can't help but be in the mood for love. Rumba music is typically slow and the lyrics are all about love and devotion.

 When dancing, you focus so intensely on your balance and breathing that you form a deep connection to yourself. And when dancing with a partner you share that balance and breathing with another person through a shared connection in movement.

 It offers the opportunity to learn something new together, spend quality time with each other, and develop a deeper physical connection. Dancing can help you reconnect with your partner and facilitate better communication between you both. It's a great way to strengthen your bond and create shared memories.

 Like dancers, husbands and wives monitor distance between each other. We become comfortable with the amount of emotional and physical distance we learned as children. In our adult relationships, we continue to regulate distance according to our comfort. Married couples, like dancers, have reciprocity.

 Our daily routine can be stressful, and we often take our frustrations out on our spouse or partner. Dancing allows us to escape our daily lives and commitments and surrounds us with music, physical touch, and closeness. A time to reconnect and learn something new and fun.
