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

great write

Good one, Melody. Brash, bold and well-seasoned. It's good to dust off the shelves once in a while. I always seem to become distracted by the little treasures I find. Surely this is no exception. ;-)

You wrote this very well dear Melody, All it needs, you explain into this write, so so very well done! ...

Good write with a great flow. You could dance to the feel of this one. Your picture does this justice, also. Not easy walking out there for the first time.Well done.
