Grapevine

Music begins,
     building slowly,
      pulsating;
                     strident;
Forcing me to the floor,
Setting off memories and dreams.
I am lost in the words,
                   the emotions,
Nothing exists
      but the feeling;
               pure energy;
Fueling,
      Releasing,
           Kicking off new thoughts
                                      desires
                                      fantasies
Never realized,
not to be realized,
stifled by a life of too many cares,
                              too few loves;
Empathy to the nth degree.
