If you let me
I would dance with you
I would offer my hands
my waist, my hips
my lips would almost …
leave their coral stain on your cheek
If you let me
If you let me
I would entice you with my feather feet
spark the floorboards
with my fiery stamp
whisper my fingertips over your wrist
and watch your pupils dilate at the very idea
If you let me
I will dance on my own
until then
I will be the vibration of the air
until then
I will be the music
alone –
until then.
Will you let me?
This week over at A Dash of Sunny, we are asked to write about dance. I took a slightly different tack, hence the picture I have included above. Here in the UK, with all of the political wranglings that are taking place, we seem to be in the midst of an overt anti-difference backlash. I don’t like it, not one bit. Everyone is equal. Nobody deserves to be marginalised.
Please do head on over to take part, or just read other offerings, if that’s all you want to do. But most of all, enjoy!
Freya Writes... 
Whistles!! ❤❤ Such a wonderfully enticing and sensuous poem Freya 😀 especially love this line “If you let me I would entice you with my feather feet, spark the floorboards with my fiery stamp.” Sigh.. beautifully rendered. Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights and for your constant love and support ❤❤
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Thank you, Sanaa – and thank you for the prompt! This poem went off in a completely different direction than initially intended 🙂
“Love the picture, and the poem, to me, evokes smoky bar room imagery of sweet seduction.” she replied.
And, you’re so right, she concluded, that ‘Everyone is equal. Nobody deserves to be marginalised.'”
Thank you so much 🙂
I also liked the line about the feathered feet as well as “whisper my fingertips over your wrist” but the whole poem made we want to sway with the rhythm.
Thank you, LuAnne!
This is just too good…I’m tingling.
Thank you so much, Shadeau.
Most welcome!
“my fingertips over you wrist” was most seductive. What a delight this was to read Freya.
Thank you so much, Old Egg.
dancing feet have to be feathery for more joy…beautiful, beautiful…also love your observations in your note…
Thank you, Sumana!
The end question really brings into focus your postscript (yes..it’s a horrible time right now) – your imagery is fantastic – the coral stain and feather feet particularly – may you dance on!
Thank you so much, Jae Rose – I wasn’t sure how successful my entry would be this week, at all!
Yes…I would so let you XXX
Thank you so much! I am honoured 🙂
Thank you Freya. Botht the picture and the poem brought smiles to my face. The political turmoil is going on here too. When will everyone just learn to live and respect each other.
Thank you, Myrna! I’m so glad I brought you some joy today 🙂
I really do share your frustrations and concerns.
