Italian Sonnet

Do you feel the Latin waves of passion?
Beneath the drums of the moon tonight
Come make love in fiery moonlight
Swaying in the lambada of the ocean
Our rhythm blends in flaunting fashion
As we soar like a butterfly kite
Smoldering flames of our wings incite
Two Monarchs upon the seas reflection

We flutter to our Brazilian samba
A Mardi gras of passionate love
We tremble to our dance of the rumba
Your arms hold tightly like a glove
We dance in white feathers, exotic salsa
Masquerading as two white doves

A poem is never finished, only abandoned.
- Paul Valery (1871-1945)

Wow!  What a way with words you have! This captivated me from beginning to end, and then I just had to read it again. This was so full of amazing imagery, and you chose a great theme, what a dance!

Take care,
Melissa

Victoria, you incite the drummer in me (I've been playing drums since I was a child) As always you give us so much color and life...a lively and involving read!
