Hector's Salsa Poem

Hector Lopez is a Brooklyn, New York, based "On 2" salsero who is a mambo instructor and performer.
He has most recently performed with the Revelation Dancers in Brooklyn.

He has written the following poem about a salsa dance between two partners.
As with most poetry, it has more than one level.
It is called "Connection".

Connection

A thick moisture fills the air

Beads of perspiration encompass their surroundings

Each drop, a mind blowing connection, waiting to explode

Brought forth by the interaction of two heated bodies

Intertwined in a few moments pleasure

They look on at one another

Her eyes reflect her admiration fo him

As he manipulates her body into an array of various positions

His own eyes reveal to her his adoration for

Her sensual curves and gentle follow

With an unfathomable chemistry they move together

In unison, acting in harmony

She surrenders control and flows to his touch

His heart beats heavy

Her breast glisten with sweat as his expands as he inhales

Dampened air penetrates their lungs

Two figures drowned in the other's caress

As temperatures rise, they anticipate each other's next move

The climax of their experience determined by excited expressions

He glances at her as she smiles with approval

Filled with confidence and satisfaction, they get lost in one last embrace

In a breath taking moment the two figures release

The music stops

They engage in one final stare

And remove themselves from the dance floor

Until the next song begins....
