Here she comes, a silhouette,
she'll dance 'til dusk is done.
Through gilded gums, freshly wet,
she'll absorb the sinking sun.
.
What nature here creates,
she'll draw upon that source.
In looping figure-eights,
she'll trace the ribbon's course.
.
With feather-like finesse,
she'll ride the evening breeze.
Light-footed, as a princess,
she'll adorn this glade of trees.
.
Born to dance, she's her mother's child,
so it's not by chance, she's like-wise styled.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
Broken Hearts Fall Silent
Attraction can sometimes be a deceptive guide, leading us through a mirage of charm only to leave us stranded in a harsh reality. It's a cruel twist of fate when the dream we chase turns into a nightmare we cannot escape. The realization that we've been deceived by our own feelings is a bitter pill to swallow, leaving us to pick up the pieces of our broken illusions. Yet, it's often through these painful experiences that we grow stronger and learn to see beyond the veil of mere appearances.
