The Dancer

 

Darkness covers my shape

A weary tingle of fear

Caresses my very soul

Unable to move

Bound by what’s within

As the music plays

My fear fades

I move to the rhythm

Enticing the wanting eyes

Shadows reach for my silhouette

Enchanted by their wanting

Frightened by their touch

The perfect lover’s game

Un-captured desire drives me

 Sheets in the daylight hide me

I am what you wish you were

I am untamed desire

I love a poem about an abstract object. It takes talent to pull it off. Nicely done!

A beautiful poem. The strong statements brought me in and held me to the amazing ending. Nothing as wonderful as untamed desire and emotion. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Absolutely love this! You have a good spin on words. I like the way it's entitled 'the dancer' and you can really feel and imagine the rhythm of the poem as if the dancer has choreographed the words. It's like a dream. Very emotive and magical.
