Waltz – Austria

His wavy brown hair showering over me,

The grip of his hands surrounding my waist 

Love and happiness of which is what I can only taste

He lifted me up in the air where the trees embraced.

Where the birds had raced

And the prey of eagles were chased.

                                                                                ———————————————————–

We slowly rose and fell onto the ground

His hand overlapped on mine

The connection between our fierce eyes

The feeling of what we could call divine

Where the butterflies tickle away through my spine

And the stars are what we over shine.

Ballet – Russia

The tip of my toes is what was touching the floor

As the lights beamed over me and the audience cheered

My rapid heartbeats was the only thing I was able to hear

As I began to dance, the grip of my body started to disappear

My leaps were like the ones of the deer

What I’ve been training for, for the past years.

   ———————————————————–

Just before embracing the solid finish of my combo

I melted to create a releve of which could help me rise

The joints of my ankle twisted as the cheering of my audience dies

The sound of all the birds chirping disappeared in the sky

As what my ankle needs now is a pack of cold ice

The pain was as terrible as a day without any sunrise.

 Salsa – Cuba

The beat was as fast as lightning striking through a village

Our feet starting parallel to each other, creating high tension

The details embedded on our dresses of which caught so much attention

Trying to keep our minds away from any sort of anxiety or apprehension

The chemistry between us was surreal not to mention

The voice of the audience was completely in suspension.

  ——————————————————————————-

The sombrero which stood on top of our heads moved back and forth

As the beats went faster and faster,  his hands spun me around and around

Did  cartwheels over his head and twirled to roll back down

We moved back and forth, conveying our steps very strong and profound

As the nerves in my body disappeared and the nervousness was drowned

The fierce finish was as sweet as a football teams’ winning touchdown.

Bharatanatyam –  India

The beauty of her sari-like costume of which she wore

Where the elegant borders of fabric unraveled around her body

The flowers of which wrapped around her hair like goddess Parvati

The belt contained of bells tightly slid on her ankles creating sounds as sweet as hot tea

As the makeup held a look on her face as fierce and fictitious as the Illuminati

It carried the emotions of the dance of which she danced to gracefully

                                                                                ———————————————————–

The sound of the tabla and trumpet rung through the audience’s ears

As she started  her first beat seated on the ground worshipping gods through flowers

Her hands held with crisp and grip as gratitude is what she empowers

The spirit of the dance is what she showers

The audience is who she sustains and overpowers

The choices of her expressions and movements is what we were all able to sweetly devour
