You scaled the stones
to cast your vision
upon my dance

By chance that eve
the Night
was lingerie

Perhaps the heels made a difference
as you’d never seen anyone
beat the drums before
with such female distinction

as if the skin was only meant
for someone tough
or burly

When the illusion is pearl handled
and carved by a strong willed soul
the beat can be heard for miles
even if by a slender hand

penetrating the hardest
most undisturbed minds

making them sensitive, receptive

as the wind through a virgin’s hair

as a maiden whose year long wait
has just ended with the sound
of her sailor’s voice
strong behind the hanging wash

Even as a man, who just found
his heart could truly beat
above the sound of his own voice
above the distraction in his mind
and climb there in homing

knowing full the measure
that completes the rhythm
within me

Regina--

"as a maiden whose year long wait
has just ended with the sound
of her sailor’s voice
strong behind the hanging wash"

You express the with such strong imagery!  Wonderful writing here, poet!

Reg,

"knowing full the measure
that completes the rhythm
within me"

And I'm sure he's not telling! Drat. I'm thinking about that cold shower again. Thanks.

Rwood,
A unique palette of color. Sort of hypnotizes
the reader.

the sin of a sailor
on his wicked sea
tossed in passion
he dances to the whispers
of siren song

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart
