The Poetry Dancer

Stars twinkling 
at night, doth bring 
warm, fetching  
this surreal passion 

of slithering feet 
doing the quick step
in moon stroke music

Ah, the smell of
lemon rinds and touch 
of wild jasmine
swirling, inside me, yet I’m

too timid, to voice out
like a canvass 
left untouched, by a brush
