Naked foot touches ground
Dirt so cold
Beats so slow
Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm
My pulse picks up the pace
Anger, Sadness, happiness
Erased, erased, erased
I feel nothing, glorious nothing
Feet aflame
Heart guiding the music
Spirals
Spinning, spinning, spinning
Head snaps back
Voices rejoice in unison at the sight of this transformation
Eyes fail as images blind them
Drunk, drunk, drunk with this madness
Spine arches
Oh let it snap! Let it all break!
Pray the flesh to crumble!
Beg the skull to shatter!
"Destroy us", The animalistic hunger screams in my ears!
"YES!"
Blood
Body falters
Touch, sound, taste, sight, smell
They all dull
Death forces his lips upon mine, swallowing precious air
Accepting it
The music slows, inaudible
Life is gone, as if it was never there to begin with.
Dead
Silence
...
Hands twitch
Blood awakens in the veins
Inner pieces stitch themselves whole
Lungs grasp from for new air
Gasp!
Fill them!
Rebirth!
Feet begin to step in reanimation
A new beat
Arms raise high to the gods in thanks
Dancing on tippy toes
Twirling, twirling, twirling
The dead shell falls away
"We are reborn!" whisper these melodic voices
Anger, sadness, happiness and everything else
Blend into this newly birthed spirit
Hips sway
Fingers chime
Heart soars
Soul blooms
Alive!
But now the song ends
The dance halts
It's time to return to earth
Be normal
Until the time comes to be destroyed and born again.
Cold soil still burning with heat.
- Title: The stages of a ritual dance.
- Artist: Namikikyo
- Description: A poem a wrote while listening to music and having the need to dance. It's meant to be read in different tempos, mostly fast. I wanted it to invoke emotions rather then rhyme or make perfect sense. It's dancing at it's best for me, when nothing makes perfect sense. ;]
