ode to a dancer

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

i sit in the corner of the bar,
away from the lites,
away from the speakers,
drinking beer after beer
writing poems on napkins
and watching you dance,
your eyes float above the heads
of the guys in the front row,
staring into the mirror
hanging on the back wall....
you bump and grind,
spin around the pole at center stage,
all eyes are on you,
even mine.....
after your set, you walk through 
the crowd offering lap dances
and good times,
everybody wants one,
your dance cards is full,
your eyes find mine
from across the room and smile,
you make your way towards me
pulling bills from your garter,
and sit down next to me,
and offer me a drink....
loneliness knows loneliness
and its better to be lonely
together then lonely all alone......
