Tandav the Dance of Power

In the innermost corner of a dark alley, a light seeps through…. I dance, a shadow on a cracked wall A dance of the freak, A smile for her, for that one there For this one sitting here Body twisting, a perverse glee For the audience to see The performer me. Somewhere on that wall Is a shape…just one.. The other a shadow Somewhere in that corner house Is a body …just one What is seen, a shadow Somewhere in that room Is a soul…just one. What is felt, a shadow Somewhere on that dampened sheet Is a woman…just one The shadow performs. Somewhere across alleys, roads, meadows and waters Is a sky…just one. Naked, all embracing one. And in the stars… There I dance, my Self on a vast expanse A dance unknown In a trance…. A smile…for no one to see My body moving to a music within A rhythm for my soul I just dance for Thee.
