and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.

In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.

Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love

But in the Wine-presses the human grapes sing not nor dance:
They howl and writhe in shoals of torment, in fierce flames consuming,
In chains of iron and in dungeons circled with ceaseless fires,
In pits and dens and shades of death, in shapes of torment and woe:

I walked through a Forest, beneath the hot noon,
On Etheline calling and calling!
One said: "She will hear you and come to you soon,
When the coolness, my brother, is falling."

Never mind baby, mother is by;
Crow and caper, caper and crow,
There little baby, there you go;

Discussion spoken in the pen
Energy being tampered with in the music
Limitations rarely occur in audio-silence

Spread sense enchanting sweet perfumes,
The butterflies fly on their colorful wings
And sit on the petals to suck secretions;

To the heaped up cairn of Maeve,
And there we'll dance a fairy dance
Upon a fairy's grave.

And cut away our tongue.

And the moon spun round like a top,

The creeping cat, looked up.

The birth to death recurrences
Of feet dancing on earth of sand;
Vibrations of the dance survive

To the moon that beckons us
To dissolve our love in trance
Heedless of the hideous

With winkle picker shoes, and layers of net
In our petticoats. We felt divine.

My brother in Mocharabuiee.

At last! I am alone! Nothing can be heard but the rumbling of a few belated and weary cabs. For a few hours at least silence will be ours, if not sleep. At last! The tyranny of the human face has disappeared, and now there will be no one but myself to make me suffer.

At last! I am allowed to relax in a bath of darkness! First a double turn of the key in the lock. This turn of the key will, it seems to me, increase my solitude and strengthen the barricades that, for the moment, separate me from the world.

When Summers blue sky fades to grey
And swiftly ends the shortening day,

And the wind replies, in the river oaks, to the song of the stream below.

Like the sea and the ocean
Some learned to dance
With its rhythm and mysteries

Don't look.

There plays the fountain of love
With swans sporting on its waters.

I ride on your thighs, and I embrace you with my both hands

At the picnic dance this summer,
Just one little drumstick--

Lets Dance To The Tune Of Lust

The world says hush
It's not the time to rush

Today I sing and dance, refuse to grow old.
Yet all the same, time is tyrant and ruthless,
Unfolds my wrinkling years, it is relentless.

Shake off your heavy trance,
And leap into a dance,
Such as no mortals use to tread,
Fit only for Apollo -

Don't say you're not important, it simply isn't true,
The fact that you were born, is proof that God has a plan for you.
Live your life not because you need to but because you want to,
For once don't think of others think of you.

A land, as far as the eye can see, where the waving grasses grow
Or the plains are blackened and burnt and bare, where the false mirages go
Like shifting symbols of hope deferred - land where you never know.

OH, unhappy stars! your fate I mourn,

Ye by whom the sea-toss'd sailor's lighted,
Who with radiant beams the heav'ns adorn,

When I dance......
I feel like a serene river flowing......
So cool..... like a swan floating in water.

Wow---
I have found my rhythm
I have escaped from the dungeon
I hold in my hand pure sunlight

Vibrates the air molecule
To run as a wave.

where Dreams dance
in tremendous joy.

THE INDIFFERENT.

COME to the dance with me, come with me, fair one!

of the mass
Makes pity a fool, the tearing pity

Forget the dancer.
Kill ego.
Go to the core of ego.
Become humble.

Dance with the cool swinging breeze,
Dance away the darkness of ignorance,
Dance with light of knowledge and wisdom!

The most popular and and the most old dance
Ancient Kalinga Kingdom has gifted to the world,
This is the Danda Nata, the dance festival of people,
In this season of Danda Nata monsoon of music flows
...

Like the wet grass

Moist with the downpour
...

Seventeen years have passed,
Since you made your transition, dearest Mom!
From this world of earthly pleasures,
Far, far away from me, and your family!

My Humble Tribute
For Your Happy BirthDay, Dearest Dr. Geeta Ji

As the Prologue i take some themes from your Poem Mohiniattam 1:
...

Atop the lake today splayed a dancing
Net of flickering sparkly bright gems, the sun
And breeze playing duet, I stood entranced
As water teemed alive. Light, having fun
...

Dance!
Dance!
The priest is yellow with sunflower meal,
He is yellow with corn-meal,

Come in captivating crowds
Sweet butterflies dance.

as i plan my beautiful escape
finding rest for my wearied soul
tonight i shall dance with my blade

Dance,
these boughs and branches
sway,
revelry at the midday,

The poplars in the fields of France
Are golden ladies come to dance;
But yet to see them there is none
But I and the September sun.

A dance is a poem
Gestured through
The body language
And its signs and symbols,
...

After deep sleep and sweet dream,
We feel now the rising sun and light,
Chirping of birds awake us today,
Wake up dear friends to get light.
...

Fools may pine, and sots may swill,
Cynics gibe, and prophets rail,
Moralists may scourge and drill,
Preachers prose, and fainthearts quail.
...

The wild verdant grass,
are moving in steady waves.
A wonderful dance!
Their movement is synchronized.
...

Will you dance with me again?
Like we danced beneath the stars
Swaying in each others arms
To the music of a thousand guitars.

Coon, why did you come to this dance
with a mask on? Why not the tin man
and his rainbow girl? Why not Racine,
