Oriental Dancer

[Oriental Dancer]

Was her obstinacy to make you, extol her?
Or her elastic flesh beneath colorful veils?
Images she carefully designed, to perceptibly err,
a Datura stream of Crimson to run in vein trails..

A dance, this dance depicts an ancient instinct,
a trite so elementary it's candor to expiate,
a foggy atmosphere to rule your cause, to extinct,
all of your amulets, to kill your faith, and to bait..

..orderly alive images, placed upon this altar,
alive force, a flesh, to offer facial value indulged,
still dreamy power, as if your manhood is to falter,
this muse will submit, just to adhere so, to divulge.

She dances, as her jingling finger plates nightly ring
and ring, incursion of a deathly whiff, a drink of rye..
to sound a monotonous of Dervish siege and sing,
you will become a victim of her charm, eager to die.

She dances, an alluring raid of scents, coiling snake
surrounds hypnotizing your despotism, to thrill,
resistances that may condemn a heavenly awake,
but still a deathly Siren, weighs her glance to kill..

Monotonous calls, a mane dark, she waves in circles
curvatures of her body moves, invasion of your senses,
hand-drums, a lyre, a lute, echo on strained muscles,
you are disposed to her drag, her eyes, and her incense...
