Tina Rivera Poet Rhyme

A Beautiful Dance

I caught last night's performance though it wasn't meant for me
Thanks to Lily, Rose and Ivy for saving me a seat
Held in a private location far away from prying eyes
Reservations were not taken because it was not advertised 
Excuse my attire, I rushed straight out the house 
I received the news just prior to my evening workout 
But like a man on a mission with a twisted ambition 
I snuck into position with the stealth of a magician
Emotions were charged as the actors took their place
Your back a perfect arch, your flexibility on display 
Your silhouetted arms beckoning your paramour 
With the welcoming charms of a true ambassador 
A most beautiful dance fused with fire and romance 
A showcased performance with a captive audience 
Your partner so intuned that he never missed a step 
Leading you across the room, your arms secured about his neck 
Drawn in like a magnet from my perch I watched it all
Strained my eyes and neck until the final curtain call 
Would have shouted "Encore" but I was immobilized with shame
Not eager to applaud my own embarrassment and pain 
Wounded ego, aching muscles regretful that I pried 
Sliding down a wall of stucco bruised from inside
