So much energy,
Am a kid-drawn doodle with
electric hair curls.

Am boundless fizzing,
Am breaths of desert zephyrs,
Am hot sand swirling,

Dance of seven veils
Uncoiling wisps, revealing,
Discovering skin.

Canopied in red
Heady with incense, red wine,
Senses lulled, loose, long

Languid shining skin,
Amber-gilded, sways, hips sway,
ripe-heartbeat-rhythm.

The rhythm of life
Is a powerful beat, beat,
Every pore ticking.

No mask, no hiding.
No hidden jagged black rocks
To tear souls apart.
