The Dance...

 


 
Mag 135
Venus and The Sailor, 1925, by Salvador Dali

 
Whirling, swirling,
lost in a sea of dance;
he wooed
she cooed
the dance of lovers
engulfed in a stare down
of one upsmanship;
Her dress flew off
he ditched his shoes
his tango dip
engulfed in pain
as he caught her mid flight;
his siren, his muse
her captive, her prey
but for tonight
just dance...
 




Laurel.  Does this outfit make my butt look big?

    just dance...'

  4. Your poem far surpasses this painting, in my opinion. You have a real talent for visualizing pictorial images. Great job.

  10. Shame! All that, then all you let them do is dance? Great verse though.

  12. Very beautiful and sensual. Just as we want these dancers to be, tangled and tranced in passion.
