“Scrabbled”



I could write a book
about all your dance moves
fire handed on a platter
heart beating like a hammer

a body of work
glanced at nonchalantly
on an open floor
dance cards marked, 

silent deals made
and understood
blind man’s bluff 
toe tapping a sequence

by numbers 
on a floor assisted
instinctually sliding 
in the desultory

golden yeared
in the dusk of setting sun
aces played straight to the kitty
passionatley winsome

words 
she spins
dancing 
across tables

stories lost in the beat
of poetic seduction 
never touching once 
the steps down a strong spine

elusive open palmed
read like a gypsy
down a back of satin
warm fingers reading

sliding down notes 
braille like velvet skin
held in your arms
and turned like a cello

to face you
strings pulled 
john-donned
plucked undone

the heart 
hidden
between 
the legs

the cupid’s bow kissed
a work of pure fiction
mercilessly 
teased

"dance?"

She 
whispers 
in your ear

"your 
scrabbled."

take 
note,

regards
sincere

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth.”

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

Careful now my friend. That video stirs the heart, the mind, the loins... errrr-- the dreams of youth in those that can now only dream of dancing with such a beautiful vixen...

Your poem brings in the sultry, the sensual, the heat, the fire, the longings that drives humanity to procreate and continue ever onward as a force upon this oft unwilling planet. The female dancer caused this old heart to skip a beat or two! A fav- a jewel and a gift given..
