Louise at Luau

by Chris Sorrenti


more poetry than anything I’ll ever write
she throbs across the floor
to endless dance mix
my own movement
in comparison
quite comical

the lei across her halter
(she told me earlier “it’s not a bra!”)
alive with every beat
a vision of Eve
to shame the Bible
my eyes
an uncertain up or down
every inch of her
a breath taker

Latin faced perfection
framed in long brown hair
tanned neck
to make even the toughest vampire
weep to Heaven
grass skirted hips
a rhythm in themselves
yet somehow synchronized
with the rest of her
well toned thighs
naked feet
each long slender toe
unto itself a masterpiece

my own legs gave out on me
a while ago
but like any fool finding himself
amid this moving feast
I’ll keep up with her
on wishful thinking alone
if necessary

oh no!
we just sat down
the dj’s in cahoots!
with a grin
she wiggles at me
her index finger

I always found this one very cute. She sure had a mesmerizing dance, and figure, and general appearance, and I can just see and hear this moment. Very fun and well done.

what fun! very flirtatious and vivid! you've painted a fun-filled picture, something i've seen many a time on a dance floor ;)

Chris, sounds like this place has better dances than my rest home. I'd like to meet your dance partner's mother. Great images.

Heh. I like the voice and style in this one. Call me crazy, but I don't think I've seen this approach from you too many times. Nice.

Thanks for this motion and music - a mermerizing lady with the moves to match. Nicely done!

And I love the way the title flows off the tongue... (just like Louise...)

lol.. you describe so perfectly the Luaus here in Hawaii.. and the conspiracy to get certain ones up on that dance floor... it is a rip-roaring good time to be had by all.. especially the more Mai Tais one consumes.. the merrier... aloha.'-)
