In the shadow of Anubis,
In the red burnt haze of dusk.
My kohl-rimmed eyes entrap you,
Awakening thoughts of lust.
Red ochre lips silently beckon,
My warm, bare breasts invite.
My perfumed scents beguile you,
My swaying hips excite.
I turn so slowly, shake the rattle
I hold firmly in my hand.
And flutter my eyes over my shoulder,
Appealing to all in you that is Man.
Come closer, my hennaed nails urge,
I turn my head and smile.
My waist makes slow sinuous circles,
I am humming all the while.
I turn again and call you,
My slender arm a snake.
Sweat beads my lips and forehead,
Again, my rattle I shake.
In the shadow of Anubis,
You stand near me and stare.
Wanting to feel my body,
Wanting me then and there.
I dance, like a tendril of smoke,
From incense dark and sweet.
Curling, softly, twisting, turning
To my heart's own tender drum beat.
I hold my arms above my head
And squirm, wriggle my hips.
I lean against the statue's feet,
You fall against my lips.
Ah heat, ah lust, ah desire!
Hands grope and squeeze and touch,
My breasts, my back, between my thighs,
You want more, this is not enough.
I am quiet no words are needed,
One arm caresses your cheek,
Another produces my dagger of obsidian
And plunges it in your heart, deep.
Your eyes bulge, your mouth hangs open,
Your struggles are brief and weak.
I stab you in your heart once again,
Shut your eyes in holy sleep.
In the shadow of Anubis
Along the paths of Seth.
I collect your blood in fragrant bowls,
Before it's entirely cooled by death.
I feel no pity or remorse,
Life extinguished, now a stiffening clod.
In the shadow of Anubis,
I make an offering to my GOD.

Beautiful
I admire you, I wish I could think of beauty and selfless happiness and write it down onto paper. You have an amazing talent and I enjoy reading your poetry as much as you like mine, if not, even more so. Eloquently written -
I love the sensuality in the language. The constant beat in the flow of your words, the way you build from sexuality to power and a goal. Beautifully done, dangerously tantelizing. Love, Tom B.

unpredictable
When I read the title, "Shadow Dancer," this wasn't what I had in mind at all. This is basically an imagery overflow; I love it! "I dance, like a tendril of smoke, From incense dark and sweet" is my favorite part, but really, on a whole this was -not to sound trite- amazing. The dagger came out of nowhere, and the references to Anubis and paths of Seth made the poem seem very authentic.

You want more, this is not enough.

Whao! I absolutely LOVED this!! An amazing write! Sent chills up and down my spine.
Like a hypnotising snake, you lured me to your arms,
felt the heat and intoxicating desire.
Dream-like motions, fluid and smooth.
Purring and lulling me to your bosom.
Then the betrayal,
Knife sharp calls to my life.
Taking my soul and pronouncing
me unwhole.
You loved me as a sacrifice,
entrancing me to believe with
everything I had, that I actually
meant something.
Perfection!! Bravo! Bravo!
Lady Blue~
On my favorites you go!
