My Flame

Walking in the room

Seeing the people

Pleasure filled the air

Curtains closed tightly

I was in love

Music filled the room

My hips began to move

Blinded by the lights

Masked with a smile

I danced away

Scheherazade, smiling with

Courage a mile wide

I danced for her that night

That year

That smile told me

With all my heart

As a flame sparked within me

To excel in my love of dance

My dance of yesterday, today

And tomorrow
