you are attracted to my shine
watching me twirl
trying to define
such an essence, sublime
a diffident whirling dervish
divine
with speed the sparks fly
and you stand closer
intoxicated, i so spry
warm becomes …
well … let’s just say “deep fry”
for such spectacle
none may decry
but
such revolutions as they daze
shall never fortify the ways
of your haphazard, gloating gaze
and I slow
tipping to fall
my spinning top
a fizzing fireball
ignite me again
Absolutely wonderful structure, words and the images…Love ‘dervish” and can picture the dervish dance in your poem! Thank you for this delicious treat

And an absolutely charming comment! Your enthusiastic reply is so thoughtful. Seeing your name brings my thoughts to my guitar, stringless until my friend returns with some lemon oil to moisturize my very dry fret board. But Of course…like you Iβm sure.. I have other guitars to turn to in my hour of need π π

Delicious and delightful for a cold wintry day as I curl up with coffee, blanket, dim lighting and poetry. Now I want to shed the blanket and twirl π β€

But coffee at night? Or maybe its day and the dim lighting is just diffused lumens?

Heading off to Ballarat to watch my niece sing in a concert tonight, she’s a very talented young opera singer, a Colorutura Soprano. Singing with Queens College Choir from Melbourne University, and she’s also the solo artist on the program. Before handed going for dinner with my brother and sister who both live up that way. Looking forward to the day, I’m an avid follower of my niece April, and go to as many of her performances as I can….. hehe, I know nothing at all about opera, but I do know she’s got a voice like 10 angels !!
