The Dancing Girl

The Dancing Girl


Dancing wild by the firelight, was I
Losing myself uninhibited,
Dancing in the flames of life
Jumping higher and higher
Dancing manically, into a frenzy
As if a tomorrow, there wouldn't come!
Undulating to the sounds of those drums
Transcending through me, euphorically
In a trance my brain...
Into a frenzy that beat getting to me
In abandon, arms, reaching for the skies
Whilst jumping over the fire was I!
Echoing through me euphorically!
The applause, an opium to my brain
Jumping higher, without refrain
Drums beating euphorically, like a drug my blood
My senses with no defences, my mind,
In a trance...
For my life dancing indolently, for he
Undulating to those drums!
I danced like the wind, whispering, between the trees
Whispering in the breeze rustling, through fallen leaves
His eyes were on me, his interest in me
Indolently I smiled at, he as he chiselled away
His hammer chip chipping away
My undulating body my face, embedded
on that rock...
Engraving my soul, deep within me
A stonemason working tirelessly
This manic woman dancing, swaying erotically
For her tomorrows dancing indolently
Losing herself to the beat of those drums
Like a bird swaying on the thermal winds
Whilst he, tirelessly sculpted her form from that stone
So in love was he, as he watched her undulating
Immortalising on that stone the dancing girl
In times forgotten ...
The sculptor, the dancing girl in a trance
Their romance...
Ageless here she rests embedded on stone
Sculptured for all to see
She who danced abandonly erotically
By far his best sculpture of, she
With his very hands, every line every sinew
Etched with love
Her immortality, carved in stone
The dancing girl,
And her sculptor in love!!
