A light
flashed across the pool
plunged
into water; and disappeared
The moonlight now tuning softly to light
opened
a passage, like
an aisle of an airplane
The 'indigo blue'...made me eager to dance
Me, myself lapping against the waves
uprooting weeds along the course, followed the beat;
shaking my hips and toes like a ballet-dancer
in the middle of corals and reefs
I spun n spun...Flamenco-like
Me, myself lapping against the waves
uprooting weeds along the course, followed the beat;
shaking my hips and toes like a ballet-dancer
in the middle of corals and reefs
I spun n spun...Flamenco-like
Tides whispered in my ears, pecking my ankles;
the underwater glares and the rainbows created
A beautiful arena for me...
the underwater glares and the rainbows created
A beautiful arena for me...
I kept floating, swimming, flowing
bending,
gliding, meandering like a dolphin
My graceful movements were so alluring
My graceful movements were so alluring
Each
subtle move, so precise, a dolphin rushed forth
Embraced me, kissed me in semi-darkness
All night, we danced, happily..merrily....
