The courtesan dances,
each intricate step performed
with careless ease,
tempting the king, the prince,
the minister and the courtier,
but her legs sway for the court musician,
who knows her every rhythm,
while his voice calls to the princess,
he secretly admires, but the princess
dreams of the prince in an enemy kingdom
whereas this spoilt prince
imagines a hostile state’s dancer
beside him on the royal throne
Reminds me of some of the court intrigues in old Kollywood movies – well captured 🙂
