Everlasting Dance

Muscles coiling
Tension rising with every beat
of that joyous drum.
Thick with sweat, hips rolling.
back arched,
muscles stretching,
with tranquil comfort
Marred with this sweet burning.

Fire fallows every movement.
Holding back the raging storm
this quiet maelstrom
The cataclysm held at bay within
bound by only skin.

That accelerated beat in my blood
mirroring the turmoil within
just as the swaying of my body
reflects the rhythmic tune of the soulful melody

Eternally feeding from the blazing flame
within this blissful night
within this peaceful fight
an everlasting dance
