The Dancer

 The Dancer


From afar I watch intently 
as she moves about so gently 
knowing not, and consequently,
unaware what’s in my heart.

Such a beauty this sweet creature 
as I watch her from the bleachers 
gazing at her shapely features;
has somebody claimed her heart?

Knowing not, the weight is crushing;
through my veins my blood is rushing;
deep desires, my thoughts are blushing;
could she love me with her heart?

Guess I’ll never know the answer,
truth about this darling dancer,
questions spreading like a cancer
feeding on my hungry heart.
