Beneath the sultry eyes of the moon
is a misty veil of seduction
arousing like a bellydancer

Within the navel of a black opal night
is a glittering star shining bright
sensuously rolling like the Persian tides

Fuchsia winds gracefully dance
with a slithering serpent of stars
as they move slowly
across slender limbs of a gypsy moon

Can you hear the finger cymbals
within the tempo of the night?
accompanying rotating hips
within cobweb scarves of moonlight

May love and light always shine upon you!

What a good way to use a belly dancer as a metaphore. Clever and a fun read.
