Alluring and
delicately softly,
she moves under
the dim lampshade.

Her steps gliding
like that of a
beautiful ballet dancer.

Slim fit and elegant
as if aware
of her own beauty.

She shows off
her dance skills
and her body.

Her perfume fragrance,
perceived afar.

She unfolds
her dance style
bit by bit.

Like that of
a rose petal
slowly unfolding itself.

A beauty to behold,
beautiful in itself.

Captivating and enticing,
and passionately exquisite.

Like the earth moves
around the sun,
the world right now
revolves around her.

For a moment,
the time
just stood still.

She left everyone
breathless.

Then suddenly,
the music stopped,
and the light came on.

And i knew
i wasn't dreaming.

She stood there,
like the ghost
of a beautiful
little girl smiling.
