center stage - the night's mistress

༺═─────────────── ·𖥸· ──────────────═༻

blood on her heels but her stride is undeterred
as she glides across the stage,
eyes acute and aware of all those dwelling in her devious abode.

.

mindless dolts gaze and salivate, seeking a miracle
that will guide her allure to their anxious hands.

.

intense and composed, she continues dancing
waiting, waiting, for a love to whisk her away;
show her the true definition of forever.

.

she eagerly invites him into her arms
and they embrace the night with weary hearts.

.

morning comes, though her eyes rebuff the light.
she dares not reach for an empty warmth,
only the riches that echo a fresh memory will soothe her anguish.

.

for the time being, she will saunter to center stage
and curse her dreams.
her tears shall beg to be written for hope to be seen.

.

she loves in the moonlit night and breaks in the morning light,
nevertheless, she will dance till her next short love;
yearning, yearning, on her stage of broken hearts and applause.
