 Poem by Sumaya

The music begins

billowing in like a tempest wind

and I, like a slender reed bend

to the melody that blows 

around and within

Another Poem By Sumaya

Belly Dancer

Her subtle perfume,

like a desert monsoon

An Egyptian mirage

with jeweled décolletage

The desert moon swerves

to her undulating curves

The Saharan night ignites

into sudden midnight light

as she spins and she turns

her belly dance, it burns

into hearts and souls 

of all who see

her dance of eternal femininity.

Yet another poem by Sumaya

chest drop

rib lock

undulate and sway

hip pop

tick tock

meditate and pray

 

figure eight

celebrate!

balancing a tray

dance Sumaya!

downward maya

swords come out to play
