The Bellydance

SONG OF SONGS 7:2 Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks a blended wine.Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies. THE BELLYDANCE A performance for one - the dance of love. Her supple waist; he never knew she could. His eyes like a mesmerized snake, his dove — She gyrates left and right - she’s really good. The darkling wine on lips — a sparkling feast. Such contrast with taut lily-flesh; no sin. The draw to pull her close unto his breast. No danger here — her palms soft-wave him in. The naivety sweet — her navel’s gold. His hands encircle hips - he reels her close. The butterfly goblet — his tongue is bold. Scent’s aphrodisiacal — and time has froze. The bellyache of loss should two break up. O rather drink the everlasting cup! 7/16/2019

Well done, Kim! You have evoked a popular dance that was once banned, not unlike the Apache dance in France. I was very impressed!
