This is a poem I wrote a few months ago. If you like it you can read more on my blog. The link is at the bottom.
Dancing in the Tavern
We can’t stop dancing
In the tavern!
Around each other,
With each other,
Towards each other.
I pirouette and stamp
Clap! Who is your lover?
You raise your glass with glee
And scoff the wine,
Smiling like a satyr,
Singing like a saint,
Moving like a lover.
I loop my hands through space
Whirl! Come face to face!
You raise your arms with passion.
Supple hands swoop
To embrace my waist,
Take my hand,
Ignite my heart.
A prayer escapes our souls
As we dance like holy fools

Thank you Sjaharih. I'm all for plenty of poetry and not just in the poetry corner but sometimes as a spontaneous response to other posts is also good if the inspiration grabs you

Grate poem Yafiah it brought me back to when I were living in Spain way back in my early days in Subud. Well, I am not saying more about that.
