Belly Dancer

I walked in and found a chair, And sat down and saw you there; The light was shining, the light was low, The candle flickered soft and slow. The lonely music filled the night, I felt right then my heart take flight; The voice that taunts behind the veil, Haunting echoes that sob and wail. Hips that glide with slow gyrations, Arms that weave with undulations; Languid eyes touched with kohl, Whisper words to flame the soul. The sounds of that persistent beat, Soothe the brow with passion's heat; Lost in the scene that ignites my eye, Heats my skin and makes me cry. You move thro night and cast your spell, And thoughts I think I'll never tell. Let's pretend there'll be no end, For you are more to me than friend; I want to take you in my arms, And feel the warmth that never harms; I play on the strings of love's romance, As you swing and sway in a belly dance

Very good. I wrote a similar poem, which I later expanded into a song called Egyptian Dancer.

Took the words right out of my mouth, Liz. I can hear the music, smell the smoke, taste the booze, and I won't tell you what else. Great stuff as usual. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

You have an infectous rhythemic style that carries the reader on and on. I'm glad I came upon your works. Work's does'nt seem an appropriate way to describe poetry. But!
