the flames lick
like forked tongues
lashing out
the cool breaze
tickles her skin
causing goose bumps
she dances in the night sky
for no one in particular
but him
watching
waiting
the hearts pound like
drumbeats
moving her forward
sweat dampens her skin
as the heat from the fire
pushes its way onto her
and she smiles
lighting up the night
like the moon
the stars twinkling in the sky
as swirls of light float above
crickets sing
and owls call
the night is here
the night is here
will you dance with her...
there is heat in the air
and it draws me in
the night is here
the night is here
will you dance with her....
