Dance of the Seven Veils
Like a whirling dervish rainbow of satin flowing veils
She floated across the dance floor, mesmerizing the room of males
Contorting and consorting with the grace of a gentle swan
Of many different colors, seven veils she did have on
The first to float upon mid air, uncovered a midriff curved but tight
Then one escaped the left leg and one escaped the right
Her skin was smooth and milky; her limbs were long and thin
Her hips, she would gyrate wildly in an erotic rotation
With each veil that she unraveled, in perfect synchronicity
She displayed more of the artwork that is a woman's mystery
Eyes followed her in wonder, watching her every move
Anxiously awaiting for the last two scarves to be removed
There was beauty in her motion, the music and body moved as one
Sweat glistened off her perfect form when the last veil came undone
The seven cloths scattered about the room, which everyone ignored
As they could not stop drinking in the sight of this goddess they adored
