The Lady Is a Tramp

They enter the strip
joint like the last 
flurrie of flakes.

She hears the music,
hears the voice of the 
D.J. Wind, enters on cue.

Her cold poles await her 
as she moves to the beat.
One south, one north.
She works them both.

They call her Storm
she is the feature act.
Drawing her minions
in for months now.

Quickly the starkness of ivory
starts to melt off her body.

The long blanched gloves 
covered those particular 
patches are the first to go 
revealing the fresh lustre of 
bare skin once again exposed.

Sexy, 
she's a professional!

She stares out
noticing the skeletal 
frames once only
shadows, 
now with a glimmer 
of light.

She knows her time
is short now
feels a hint
of life in her 
domain of 
dead stares.

Hears sounds
that are telling.

Was that really a chirp 
or just a whistle?

The pulse of warmth starts
to pump through her veins.

Now her shiny robe
falls to the ground and
you can sense the smell
of want in the air.

The flow of liquids 
previously frozen stiff. 

Storm the stripper
slowly teases the crowd.

Down to her Victoria Secret
garb she tugs at our groins
knowing her audience craves
more. 

In this case that also
means less. 

I personally will miss her 
in this present form.

Her tidy white lingerie 
against her tanned skin.

Covered peaks, 
rounded mounds.

You just want to
ride up, and maneuver 
your way down.

The timing is wrong.

I know she will strip bare
as first the top goes then 
down to a G-String of snow. 

Naked,
winter stands
in front of me. 

She will meander a bit 
shake with a breeze
of perfumed cold. 

Slide onto the floor as she undulates 
with her come ons that near a finality.

She saunters off the stage
and me I watch winter's end.

Spring, on winter's barren 
ground starts to peek from 
around the curtain, 
with her touch of green.
Warm breezes.
Her array of pastel colors.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Winter has left the building,

Spring is here!

I love all the plays on words. I wrote one called "Dancer" a little while ago. I think you might enjoy it, it takes place on a similar stage. Bravo my friend, this is a titilating piece of writing.
