Drumbeats, echo endlessly,
she studies the dancers,
their effortless sensuality,
slips slowly through her soul
molasses heated by summer sun.
She savours the intensity
surrounded by shadowy sycophants
dipping, diving, into serenity
she savours their beauty
sweet temptress mine.
Silken skin slides sensuously
as she stares, mesmerized
enslaved by their seductive smiles
harmonic melodies rise
her heartbeat slows, soft cadence.
Sylvan dancers sway silently
to simple rhythms, ageless
she surrenders her spirit
sacrificed upon an altar of sin
sweet temptress mine.

Eh, if you're interested, I was listening to Enigma when I wrote this.

Your Alliteration
abounds, speaking in volumes of this offering.
While I am not familiar with Enigma, I do know what appeals to me, and this does.
Many thanks for entering.

The words here are dripping with emotion!
I love this.
And especially the alliteration here : "Silken skin slides sensuously".
Amazing
