Love Ruled the Heart

Perfect limber lassie;
she leapt on her toes,
dancing, rousing sassy
loose and red hot pose.

Swaddled simple, graceful
rich and rare she dared.
Simper very playful
light mood she had shared.

Slightest hurried impulse
she took a light glance
often enough avulse
thought of course to dance.

Welcomed whirlwind romance
whiled love ruled the heart
into lasting advance
flames struck and took part.
