Rapture

[Makai]

The look on her face was rapture,
when she heard the flamenco guitar
in the jazz song playing.

She began to dance slowly
subtly moving her body.

Bare shoulders catching the rhythm
that moved down her arms
to her white-bird hands,
describing arabesques.

Tight red dress accenting
the lines she was creating,
that became the music
and a work of art.

I'm so happy to see this here and especially like the lines


Bare shoulders catching the rhythm
that moved down her arms
to her white-bird hands,
describing arabesques.


Welcome again and I look forward to more of your poems!

Hello to you too, and thank you so much for not only liking this piece but for your kind comment as well.

This was actually based on a real event, a magical moment that I was blown away by at a jazz festival. It was truly beautiful to behold and I'm glad I could capture the essence of that moment.

Thank you very much, have gotten into listening to Blues lately but I like Jazz very much too. Must be something my brain is requiring right now.
