Near. So near that you can kiss me. <br />I can see the gods dancing <br />Inside your belly, <br />And they break away star by star <br />From the tips of your curling <br />Fingers pointing up to their bed of waiting <br />Companions. <br /> <br />You release them, and you send them away. <br />And I watch, your color tied to me <br />Like a glowing sigh. And the illusion <br />Of a kiss. You don't need to touch me <br />For us to dance to the songs of my heart; <br />You are a belly dancer who never leaves <br />Your stage of broken nature. <br />But others will leave their silly stage of comfort <br />For you. And your price? Their lives. <br /> <br />You seduce the wind, and you seduce my cleverness, <br />And like the wind, my airy thoughts <br />Tumble and curve to you, <br />Hidden and lost to the dark bends of your nature. <br /> <br />And I drift, like a plucked leaf, to your imploding swells of heat- <br />Drawing me near, so near that you can kiss me.<br /><br />Masiela Lusha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fire-18/
