Prompt Indulgence for Sunday Scribblings When I indulged in pondering about the word Indulgence, I thought you can indulge in many things. As long as you completely selfishly engage or emerge in a form of instant gratification. Of course eating and drinking have done that for me but for me but when I was young it was definitely dancing.
Indulgence in dance
Lifted into wonder of a mystical night
wakened by crying violins
Moonlight illuminates untouchable feet
of a swirling beauty who calls the one
with a bitter song so sweet
Flaming black eyes enter the magic
fuelled by thundering clapping
Awakening the spirit of romance
of two silhouettes who understand
the language of a Gypsy dance
fuelled by thundering clapping
Awakening the spirit of romance
of two silhouettes who understand
the language of a Gypsy dance
During the embrace of two souls
the rhythm and the beat slows down
the stillness of the night returns
but in the heart of the dancers
an eternal fire burns
the rhythm and the beat slows down
the stillness of the night returns
but in the heart of the dancers
an eternal fire burns
As the shimmering veil of dawn rises
Bouncing hoofs announce a departure
a cloud of dust cloaks the horse and man
Bouncing hoofs announce a departure
a cloud of dust cloaks the horse and man
The shimmering veil of dawn rises!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat poem! Love this line: "wakened by crying violins". Whenever this happened while I was in the orchestra in my younger days, I would holler back with the deepness of my double bass. Ahhh, harmony! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful and visually rich (talk about indulgent!).
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your your poem with us, Marja! Absolutely lovely! :-)
