ABANDON.

Fay Slimm.

 

Abandon.


Eastern the rhythm as dancer begins.

 

Barefoot fluidity,

gliding vibration of smooth undulation.

 

Transparent veils floating like wings.

 

Bold sensuality,

in spinning abandon to body pulsation.

 

Entrancing the swirls of organza-spins.

 

Increasing shaking

as silken-gold fringes twirl in gyration.

 

Twisting hands shiver in bangled rings.

 

Pace quickening

leaves onlookers stirred by sensation.

 

Oriental performance an audience wins.

    Beautiful write Fay. It perfectly describes their movements so well. Lovely pic painted by words and the pic completed it.

  • Michael Edwards

    I can even hear the music- superbly written Fay

  • Goldfinch60

    Superb write, I could see her dancing.

  • lasergraph

    My granddaughter loves to dance. She started ballet at age 3. The movements are so graceful.

  • orchidee

    A fine write Fay. I would swoon seeing her, as in some other poems, where I am 'delicate'. I should get out more! heehee.

  • onepauly

    you show us how fragile and sensitive we are.
    good one!

  • dusk arising

    Oooooh that young soul hasn't left your limbs I'm thinking. Did your mind travel to times when the lady you describe was no other than you poetess?.... oh false modesty, shy and blinking innocence I perceive.
    Hope you're smiling. Such a tantalising piece.
