Would you like to come with me?
as I dance my way through pink stereotypes?
as I try on stiletto heels to make puncture wounds in men's hearts?
as the seam of silk nylons traces lazily up my thigh?
as I shake and shimmy and purse and pout
slide and glide and dazzle and delight
your sparkling blue eyes from across the room
behind a velvet rope?
This cannot  be contained
not like you can.
and though you may try
I'll melt through your heart and fingers like sugar through lemonade
bullets through flesh
and say I told you so
as I walk away
trailing your pride behind me
Do you really think I do this for you?
I couldn't care less that your eyes and thighs have been on my behind
since the moment I've entered this room.
sex is not in the eye of the beholder--it is in the eye of the maker
and what I'm making tonight
would make a blind man see again
would make a woman moan for mercy
would make your mother weep that she had lost her son's soul
to a woman who could not be woman
when such magic danced between her thighs.
