TO A SMITTEN AUDIENCE OF ONE

09 04 14

Unflinching eyes and a brazen glare
buy time necessary to retreat into
a cower underneath a spiced
imagination with a tickle of reply
to every hallowed juke and gyration
Every little sway of virile hips
unlocks an untapped cadence
streaming live broadcasts
of physical intent to a smitten
audience of one swooning
in the sweet vicinity
of a gypsy rhythm
Entitlement to freedom is in motion
coveted so vividly by sad settlement
Shake the clinical statistics off
your roving mane light-tripping gypsy
Spin your rhythm into my dimension
of hobbled hypnosis
Sprinkle your impressionistic
seedlings of wings on my sheep's feet
and assert your rhythm's swaddle
on a shivering uncertainty
of floundering humanity

I could have made 'chancellor' without you on my mind, I think is how Gordon Downie put it. Superb piece, Steve.

Ah yes, that song might have fit as well...so glad you enjoyed it Pryde.

probably the most amazing dance I have ever witnessed, words just flying off the page and spinning before my eyes, it's magic I tell you, just don't get too close or you'll be caught in this never ending dance with no escape, excellent writing, bravo and encore.

Some Diva she is. ..spicy, swaying, spinning, holding her audience absolutely captivated by sensual moves and machinations.. As this poem held me. The write flows and plays like a sexy, smitten song in my mind. Very much appreciated and enjoyed Steve.

Okay, is this some secret cult? Why am I not invited to the gypsy party? Smart, sexy, and fun -- I came in thinking this would be one thing, and left feeling it entirely another. You do that a lot.:)

[kublakhan27]

Haha Is it really that secret? ;P So glad you enjoyed it my friend...the element of surprise is a focal element in my writing ;)
