Mad for You

flashing eyes
dancing thighs
every onlooker spellbound

ur sensual dance
mystic song
and syncopated beat
the worlds unfold,
every fiery glance
sets the sky ablaze

Asian eyes
dancing (inner) thighs
hold me captive
body, soul and
mind

in quiet night
i hear ur stringed gourd
and ankle bells
tinkling, jingling
closer
then farther
but always audible

at times i feel
ur bare feet beating
a rhythm on the ground

ur mystifying dance and
haunting melody
draws portals
in the sky

(i am) crazed,
intoxicated, forever pursuing
you
a most welcome madness,
a divine intoxication

but tonight the constellation
rises
it's time for us to dance,
sing
and drink wine
pressed from the gardens
of paradise
