Her style flawless,
she becomes the sparkle as the audience fades. (I like the near-rhyme of stage and fades)
Slowly I become attractively restless (This is an awkward line for me - not sure what "attractively restless" refers to)
as my fear of expression wanes. (again, not sure of meaning)
I have to hold on to this moment of moving beauty.
I cannot afford to darkle,
So I hold my breath to soundly watch the beautiful dancer.
She is so beautiful and feminine (maybe describe her in some other way, such as by comparing her to something else that is beautiful and feminine)
yet I seem to capture the masculine execution of her dance, (again, awkward for me - "masculine execution" is a mouthful)
she is a Perfect Muse, expressing her poetry in Dance
Just comments - hope they help. I like the idea that I think you are trying to express, and believe some minor tinkering could help a lot. Since you are describing a graceful ballerina, I wonder how it would be if the meter were a bit more "graceful" as well? This could serve the purpose of reflecting her own grace in your writing. Thanks for posting this!
