Pristine magic rises
from her hips,
shooting stars
from her fingertips,
her tongue
moistens lucious lips.
Seems an eternal hand
runs a breeze through her hair.
Her glance holds mysterious
and lustful stares,
a warm welcoming
into her sensual lair.
Her midrift bare,
bejewelled, blissful, bountiful,
so tempting to touch,
and inviting and fruitful,
to be wrapped in her rapture,
nothing short of beautiful!


I admire,
entranced and enchanted,
excited and ecstatic,
elaborate exercises
exalting all energies.
The air, electric
and aroused
embraces my being
and inspires my senses.
I am mystified
by this cosmic courtship!

:)

    bouncing along the rhythm train...at first, i didn't think that the last stanza fit in - but, then i read it again and realized what it was saying...

    i love your word usage - and the basic, physical structure of the piece...thank you...have a good day.
    I'll dig a tunnel
    from my window to yours

    Very well done. I'm an admirer.

    You know, y'all are so kind!!!!!! :):):):)

    Ms. Nazi, I do have to say that yes, watching bellydancers is indeed quite delightful! :) Such sensual and beautiful dances--seductive, alluring and exquisite! Now, I sure can shake my money maker but to do it in such a gorgeous fashion is, in my opinion, an art! :)

    trappedinmyradio, I thank you for your observations! I was working it one way, and then I added the last stanza on because it still needed to be said even though it didn't quite follow the same rythym--it felt unfinished otherwise. :D You have a good day too! :)

    Aww, groovematic---thank you! *:):) and blushes* I hope you know that I admire your work as well! :) I really fell in love with that one you wrote about the ballerinas and you have a plethura of other goodies!!! So much to read and currently, so little time. :( I hope to have some more time to read again soon but I'll just have to see how it goes. At any rate, I thank you again.

    It's good to see so much kindness and sharing here. So many wonderful pieces to enjoy. So much hard work and purging of emotion...I wish I was able to read them all! :)

    She’s not the most beautiful woman ever-
    Even I can see that-
    Sometimes she doesn’t smile too well,
    Or, if she does, she does so
    As though there were a rifle to her back.
    When she watches her TV
    She pretends to be a statue
    Of chipped granite,
    Grainy and stoic,
    Making occasional faces
    At my socks.
    I open and close the blinds
    Many times,
    But the light never seems
    To hit her just right,
    Never highlights her features
    The way I know it could,
    And ought to.
    But to see her from a distance-
    The ungraceful flow of woman,
    The manner of walking she has
    Which is half-limp, half-skip,
    The urgency she implies by moving slowly-
    Is to trace a striking set of lines and twists
    Which flash from the ground to the sky
    Like lightning.
    Holding the complete image in your mind,
    Then may you slowly approach her,
    Watching her uniqueness develop,
    And remain intact upon close inspection;
    It is at this moment of transcendant clarity
    That you will fall in love with her,
    Convinced the slightest gesture of her waist
    Is a crumb dropped from God.
    Then I, and you now, too,
    Will beg for her to be still closer,
    Weep for her to touch us.

    Why thank you! I appreciate your appreciation!

    It is marvelous here, isn't it? We are so spoiled. I dare you to try to find a place like this on any other band's site. The Message Pit is rather special.

    Keep posting those good poems, BE!

    Being that's probably the best poem ever written about bellydancing......and possibly the best one that could ever be written.......

    (Groover, I'm so gald you posted your sad clarity poem again.......I forgot how good it was until I re-read it).......baby is sick, and asleep.....he's on antibiotics......I'm worried about him......he's not eating.......
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    grooveamatic, thank you for gracing my post with your Sad Clarity! It's so sadly beautiful, just lovely! :)

    Ali, gali! :D I loooove to dance! It's so freeing and wonderful! I'd love to be talented enough to perform before a group of people....the closest I get to that is kicking up my heels at people's weddings--wheeeeeee!!!!! :):) Mostly I just wiggle and giggle around the house. :D

    ISN, so sweet of you, really! Thank you so much! :):) I'm flattered!!!! Poor baby and poor Momma--it's so hard on Mom's when their babies are ill. :( I hope your dearest darling is feels better soon, sweetie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

    I'm actually glad it made you feel that way because that's where I was going with it---but not in a dirty way, just an open sexual way. :)
