A Girl In Flames

She span as a girl in flames,
Bared emotions there to see.
A dance of love, and all it's games
Her spirit fiery, bold, and free. 

She stamped her feet upon the floor
A guitar strummed a bold refrain,
The watching crowds, they cried for more
She clapped her hands, then span again.

Her dance, passion personified
A wild look now upon her face.
A sensual beat filled the air,
Enough to make mans heart race.

Then it stopped, she was all but spent
Breathing hard, with sweated brow.
She took the crowds loud applause,
Beamed a smile, then took a bow.
