Mesmerize
with every beat,
music moves
down naked feet,
rises up
to then repeat,
Bellydance
feeling complete.

Sway my hips
from side to side,
exposing
thoughts kept inside.
Pretty veils,
expressive eyes,
feeling free,
no need to hide.

Thrilling sparks
flow through snake arms,
revealing
distinctive charm.
Hypnotize
to then disarm,
silently
without alarm.

Shimmy fast
then lift and drop.
Chest circles
and belly pops.
Always dance,
no need to stop.
keeping joys,
listed on top.
