Burlesque

Jazz music, feathers fly.
A show of comical wits,
and dancing in the lights.
While you love every stride.

You watching me.
Diamonds glittering,
as I shake around.

My make up to perfection.
My hair set in curls.
Pearls against my corset,
The touch of silk.

red lips, shimmering eyes.
Gold flashing before mines.
Music blasting, hearts jumping.
A tease of my body showing,

You'll swoon at my performance,
as I show you that I've got it.
