A dance... by Hemakumar Nanayakkara

A dance...

As bright electric lights
faded away slowly
Flames of burning candles
made a splendid array

From a distant corner
blinked her crescent eyes
Lustrous sparks of glitter
pleasing human signs

Pearly beads like
cute tender smile
Attractive gestures
of irresistible style

Placid moonlight was
falling through windows
Touched her cascading hair
creating dark shadows

As the music played smoothly
her eyes turned magically
His earnest longing for her
gradually overflowed

He took his steps foward
following her fragrance
An alluring display of intuitions
in front of an angelic presence

He took her hands
danced across the floor
Turning many a round
as they floated to the fore

Twirled elegantly listening closely
To the two of their own souls
Like loving pairs of veil tails
in round aquatic bowls...

Lovely poem. Sensual and romantic. I could see the couple dancing as I read.
I am especially fond of the final stanza. Great imagery throughout. Well done.
