The Moonbeam Ballerina
In pastel shades your sensual hue
And petal lips all pouting dew
Your eyes are moons of misty stare
Beaming soft clouds everywhere
Twilight mysteries veil my day
When you wave your body sway
In peachy shine your ribs extend
Breathing love your torso bends
As I draw you melt like glass
Twisted heat in firey blast
Thirsty molten desire flows
Rivers from your pointed toes
Wide ripples ring the watery lake
Where your feet have lept and ached
Scribing wandering knots and lines
On the pillow of my mind
Your slender swirling arms do soar
From your fingers nectar falls
On my pleading empty page
I dip my pen in your image
As your eye beams pierce and thread
Upon my ragged soul of bed
Whispering vapors gently blown
Across the dreams that I have roamed
In rapture spread your toned thighs
Gliding heart burns from the sky
In waterfalls of green
An enchanted unicorn dancing lean.
