come and watch the dance of Isabella
the rhythm of castanets awakes the moon
her body tilts the oleander axis of the wind
her hips rotate into the autumn of the fires
an iguana stumbles on profuse desires
opening her eyes on Isabella’s chest
your forehead sinks into the sweat of lovers
who step onto the boats which never will return
watch how Isabella dances
wreaths of conquerors at her feet gleam
lizards from forgotten winters
tattoo her body on your skin
and in the shadows of the lips which spin
locked in the mansion by the lake
i love you more than anybody else
yet you don’t know
because for you i’m just a dream

Good morning. A seductive poem that would have conquerors and paupers gleaming at Isabella’s feet. Love your name choice. I have always loved all those different ‘Bella names. Gorgeous finale, too. Your writing entertains, enchants, and inspires.
Good morning. Thank you very much, Drew. I am delighted that you think so. Enjoy your day!

There is something I wanted to tell you, Hah, I’ll save it for your next post.
You made me very curious 😊😊😊
You are supposed to be lol. 🙂

I was in a bar one night where they had a belly dancer and she motioned for me to join her on the stage, but I was too embarrassed even thought my friends kept trying to encourage me.
lol you should have done it. 😊
Stylish faerie of the senses in a surreal frame. A careful reading, however, found associative links to Chekhov and Márquez.
Thank you for your thoughts, dear B!
The pleasure is just mine!
