Dragon Flying Ballerina


The splintering light from hurt thighs
Paints the glare that trims your eyes
Yet as we gaze in wonder and in awe
Your dragon flying o'er the floor
We see such light in mystery glows
Between the quivering of your toes
A diamond dazzling burning bright
Rising as you leap to light
From the spinning of you feet
To the smile where your lips meet
And as your head doth turn and glance
Our hearts are daggered by your dance
