Ballroom Lust

Her red dress Pressed To that beautiful black skin, She looks like a forest fire Racing up a mountain top Burning up She cannot stop Her wild curves Engulfed in flames. She smolders In a corner Of the ballroom, My eyes, Like two emptied water glasses On a tray, Gliding by On the shoulder Of a much younger waiter.
