Theives of Time

Gitanella the spanish dancer-
 Twirls to the beat.
With the shuffling feet;
The head poised proud.

Her back in a wonderful arch-
Twirls to the beat
In her bright floral frock;
With a rose in her hair.

The flow of her hands-
As the castanets chatter.
But inside her being;
Her life will but shatter.

This dance of death -
The thieves of time.
Dancing through her breast;
Slowly to the res.

Then faster they move- 
Till they all remove. 
And all you will hear; 
Is her echo i fear.
