Deviations in Writing

The tale is told of one who watches
Cloaking her gaze in silver blindness
Ebony satin drapes her visage
Cloak of darkness hides her wake
Maiden of great desire,
What hides in your heart of fire?

Villages whisper in the night
Speaking tales of blood and fright
Of the daemon hidden in the woods
Preying on those when the bell tolls
I call out to the hidden woman near,
Can you not spare those souls so dear?

The Daughter of realms beyond
High Mistress of Palaces great
Soon to be lover and mother,
Sister, wife and friend
Why the hiding in the Shadow's Lurk,
Always watching from afar?

The ground moved with the force of life
Beneath the bare feet of the desert rose
Stars shimmered throughout the galaxy
Rising and imploding, Super Nova
The rays of precious light fall
To Earth as comets from beyond time
Backlighting the desert rose with a kaleidoscope of colors

The desert rose begins her dance
Her body moves with fluid grace
The Earth swells, shifts and begins to feast
Opening wide to swallow her whole
A passionate taste of life embraced
Surrounding the mystery of the night
The one and only desert rose

Her body sways, trembles and moves
To the music unheard to all but her
The heartbeat of the moon
Pulsing within her mind
Each beat guiding her movements
Her heart, her soul, her mind
Caught in this primitive dance

A thin veil of sweat coats her flesh
A gentle dew of life
Her body moves as thought cracked with a whip
Salted leather breaking flesh with its kiss
Beauty set free, untamed and bittersweet
Each movement a message to those who watch
The desert rose to be sought but never owned

Dancing beneath the moonlit night
The voice of music echoing in my ears
The shadows lurk, play and hide
With the desert rose
You live upon moon rays
Sweat of the night upon your petals
Desert rose, masked in black
Praying to your own god
Feel the voice of the heavens
Pounding in the desert night
The slow-motions curves
Bodies of grace
Tranquil movements of flesh
`Can you feel my heartbeat?´ [Kore]
The bitter dance
Of life entranced
Hypnotic trance
This ageless dance
Of the desert rose
Stars of wishes
Pillars of life
The ground moves with my heartbeat
With one last breath
I wish for one more night
Playing the desert rose
Always in bloom
Full of life, of vision
Always in motion
With this primitive dance
