Any advice for this free verse?

Efflorescence

The dance floor swirls with couples.
He stands against the wall,
watching,
alone and silent - nothing new.
Then, through the sea of forms in motion,
a flower on the wall
commands his gaze.

Shy, like him, the flower
smiles.
A simple tilting of the lips
and questions, once too bold,
find voice...
questions like
"May I have this dance?"

She nods,
the floor is theirs.
Could it really be this simple?

The way she moves,
the way he laughs...
it seems they've met before.
Still, as their fingers interlock,
they know

this is something new.
