Belly Dancer

by Sumaya

Her subtle perfume,
like a desert monsoon
An Egyptian mirage
with jeweled décolletage
The desert moon swerves
to her undulating curves
The Saharan night ignites
into sudden midnight light
as she spins and she turns
her belly dance, it burns
into hearts and souls
of all who see
her dance of eternal
femininity.

About The Poet

Sumaya's mind, body and soul have been completely transformed by this beautiful artform. The music calls her and her spirit responds. She is delighted, though a little embarassed, to have her humble musings published on Shira's great site.
