Contemporary Dancing

Shirts getting tighter,
But she's not getting bigger.
She's not using any sort of strength,
But she's up above the ground.
Her shirt wrinkles,
As his hand clenches.
She's being lifted,
But her focus is still on him.
Breath getting taken away,
But he's not keeping her from breathing.
Her feet are placed flat on the ground,
His hand releases and is by his side.
His legs move behind her,
His face becomes closer.
She moves forward,
Her hands are grasped by his.
She no longer feel the ground,
But the strength between the two.
The strong powerful feeling,
As emotion is shared between the two.
Mimicking each other,
Sharing jumps, turns, and their arms.
Guiding each other,
Smiling but yet trying to keep up.
Their energy filled the room,
The viewers become inspired.
But the performers are not to show,
Instead they enjoy the same love and passion.
It ends by catching their breath and noticing their work together.
