Dance

Marriah Secrist

I rest now, after the sun sprang
To life on the desert plain: my body cracked for flow.
It splashes toward me, and like new it revives my beaten soul,
And the fire leaps with a new will.
In the yonder merriment,
A bow dances upon the fiddle with a life
Of its own, and I stare;
Watching the spirit unfold itself,
And enter the other side.
A jolt of energy overtakes the old, and like lightening,
The spirit in my fingers; ever swaying with the passion of life,
Flows like a river of never ending light,
Always shining, always beautiful
As a silhouette of the one goal:
The expression of the ghost;
For life, for touch, for soul
I slow with the dancing bow,
And my aim is touched.
I rest now, knowing all life is safe,
And is given and taken thankfully this night:
The one pierced with joy.

Jennifer Monaghan

She is a woman so incredible
with her gentle nature
and her kind compassionate soul
she is mother and lover
with her large breasts that
comfort my tired head or
drive me mad with desire
with her soft hands that
nuture me and pleasure me
with her touch that turns me
to liquid and her kisses that
bring me to a boil. when she
embraces me i think i might just
melt into the earth beneath me
She is a woman so amazing
whose smile can light up a
thousand rooms, whose laugh is
as delightful as that of a child
she is a woman so passionate
full of life, captivating
her fiery nature at times a
raging blaze and at others
a gentle glowing ember
she is a woman worthy of
admiration, worthy of love
she is woman so completely,
she is woman's perfection,
woman defined. she is a woman,
she IS woman,
and she is my heart…

written for Lisa and about Lisa
from the girl who looks up at the moon
