Cresendo

Madonna vs. Ofra Haza - Isaac (Offer Nissim 2006 Remix)

In a halting crescendo
The darkness called
Her delicate fingers trace
A moments hesitation
Before the contact

The world outside
slowly sought
To heal
To repair
Damage damming
That artifice caused
During the day

Removed from
The mask
Curious eyes
Furious grace
Peering shone
Renaissance
From the touch
Of his finger
Began the simmering slow

In the darkness
She allowed
Him to trace
Along hidden paths
Towards
Her garden
She had considered simple
In its glory
He knew

The tread
Soft
As a kiss
Along her periphery
Guarded
Yet longing
For entry
Beckoning
Calling
Desperate
To feel
Again
And
Again
The delicate advance
The gentle retreat
Drawing
To walk along
Along her gardens path
Tracing petals
Soft striking caress

And in the calling of the darkness
The crest of the building
Crescendo
