Elevated Madness
Transparent to the world at large
in verticaled arrange
the seeming beauty of machines
can make our moments strange.
Just in short the journey there
when floor to floor alift
it's not so odd to feel alight
and let the ceiling drift.
All touched with evening
drinks and chatter
hard to keep composed
when pressed against
a window rising
lifted to your toes.
Fingers fretting
playing songs
of harmonies in light
and what of if
we kissed and came
transparent in the night?

There is such tender sensuousness to this line but your entire poem captured me......what a sweet and unforgetable elevator ride.... ;) ♡♡♡

A very literal meaning for me; I remember how excited I was upon getting the chance to ride in a glass elevator for the first time in Los Angeles. I love the personification used.
