Naked Pirouette

Pirouetting through moonlight, fleet of foot, 
Silhouetting in shadows, black as soot, 
Animation, soft sensual writhe of the limbs, 
This naked collision of seraphims.

Chandeliers, the stars in the bruising sky, 
Engineers of gleam upon inner thigh, 
Perspiration, the diamonds on flesh of white, 
This naked reflection of spellbound night.

Propagating the grind of loins afire, 
Stimulating the surge of liquid desire, 
Implication, the lure of heaven or hell, 
This naked exhibit of show and tell.

Appealing, her soul of mythic graces, 
Revealing the glimpse of forbidden places, 
Submission, surrender to passion and prayer, 
This naked conclusion - this goddess laid bare.
