The Enchantress







She seemed to float into the dance.
Stunning, emerald-like, on a silver cloud.
With ruby red lips, whispering velvet sounds.
We, young girls, knew we hadn’t a chance.


Our clothes were anything but magical.
Teenaged girls, were overcome by her beauty.
Boys hypnotized ,ogling her, as if it was their duty?
Her beauty, we saw was nearly celestial!


I wondered, could I ever look like her?
Where does one become a temptress,
That leaves boys so totally breathless?
The alarm clock rang, my dream was a blur.

Very nicely told, Pangie. Truly enchanting, such fine imagery of dance and the beauty of the human form in motion. (On a lighter note, I knew a woman who confided to me, this is exactly what motivated her to become an anesthesiologist, the thought of leaving some men breathless:) I particularly like, "She seemed to float into the dance. Stunning, emerald-like, on a silver cloud. With ruby red lips, whispering velvet sounds." Enchanting read! Thank you.

Hi Joe, Catching up on missed comments. Again, we both liked the same line! That’s so amazing. Re..,Leaving men breathless. If a patient is breathless, as in OR, they are dead.)); An enchantress is quite different....LOL.. Hugs, Panagiota xx
