Every girl is a flaming star
Behind white walls
Deeply hidden
Burn heavens upsurging
In the heart's insurrection
Fall and cry
Into motionless screaming rapturous
Hands
The sea shell in your navel burns
A mind of coral
Harbouring the deep sea's jewels
And treasures
Is imprisoned in this heart
That craves its own revelation
In sevenfold veiled longing
O dervish princess
Seize the fire of this night
Be the pearl that radiates
On this heavy dark-winged
Firmament
Live your trance
Dance for an hour and
Die with Al Adawiya
Cyprus July 2005
I missed your work
God bless
Reindeer
Burn heavens upsurging
In the heart's insurrection
Fall and cry
Into motionless screaming rapturous
Hands
Intense and passionate!
I know how long it took you to choose each word and their placement in this poem. It dances off the page.
