above belly.underneath heart
7 May, 2008 | 5 comments | Category: love.of.words!, musiqa, poetry
getachew mekuria and susheela raman. “the love trap” an adaptation of Mahmoud Amhed’s “bemin sebeb litlash”
trancing a light curly zigzag
lazily. teasingly. tingling
…lips, finger tips…
half-dreaming colors and warmth
floetry, underneath the heart,
above the belly.
feelings that look like…
gradient orange sunset rays piercing through blazing red fire
surrounded by pulsing rhythms and…
sifting fragile petals of yellow on translucent maroon sashes…
like skipping butterflies as they prance between the deep pit of the belly where feelings reside, and the base of the heart where they overflow.
the depth of the feelings mirror shadows falling creating accents…
provoking a vulnerable smile at the cosy humble fire they stroke…
at the heady euphoria of an embrace
a sweeter crush,
a more delish lushness,
a softer…scrumptious flutter,
a more tasty brush.
feels, textures, tints and tones…
tempting finger tip senses, lip buds, eyes.
skimming along the edge of shoulders exposed to air.
sending a delicious tingle down…

ive owned her Salt Rain album for a few years now and still very much in love with it. but im not really fond of her singing in english
she has intensely curly hair for an indian….she’s gotta be mixed with something.

hmmm maybe…she’s a descendant of “ethiopians”/Africans that apparently migrated to southern India way back when…
