A Dance... Poem by Hemakumar Nanayakkara
A Dance...
As bright electric lights
slowly faded away
Flames of burning candles
made a splendid array
From a distant corner
blinked her crescentic eyes
Lustrous sparks of glitter
pleasing human signs
Pearly beads like
cute tender smile
Attractive gestures
of irresistible style
Placid moonlight filtered
through the long 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 rounds
as they floated to the fore
Twirled elegantly listening
to their own souls
Like loving pairs of veil tails
in round aquatic bowls...

Exuberantly bewitching & challenging invitation to taking one long evasive glimpse into the quivering climaxing of human tandem life at its most unique point of polarity - two soles melting over! Great poetry!
