Lets dance!!!



DANCE THE BODY MUSIC.....One of the first few songs that stuck in my head like a ear worm...from the group, OSIBISA..while I was young and learning to understand what music was all about.

It set the feet tapping and its been tapping all along...dancing begins in the heart. Its what I believe...U don't need music to start...you must feel it...

Our country has such vast dance forms, that I feel so proud to be part of its culture...(pssst, I haven't learnt a single form though :( , I enjoy watching them )

Each one form expresses so much beauty that there is sheer ecstacy in their movement. Close your eyes, feel the music in side of you....and sway to the rythmn ...and here's what I witnessed while my friends made promises to each other..in Goa,

He looked into her eyes and said "I do"
She smiles,glow on her face
and love in her eyes, whispers back " I do"

The bond has been sealed.
The celebrations begin
Its time for the folks
To rejoice with dancing

Wine glasses raised,
the toasts to be made,
Cake to be cut,
all eyes on them, but-

The strains of the music
flowing in amidst the hik, hiks!
It starts of soft as butterfly wings
But then the tempo rings

Cheek to cheek
Toes apart
Hands entwined
Smiles reaching the twinkling eyes

So much beauty
In the sway of the hips,
the knowing lips
Love for all to feel

Dancing in the wind
see breeze flowing past
Hair curling into wet locks
on the forehead

Music flows into the air
The spring of the rythmn
Brings on an air

Theres a blending of hearts
Swaying around, on blissful beats
Dance the body music,
Music makes us happy!!


While going through the prompts at Sunday Scribblings, this is what got me onto my feet....

I must tell you that you have a way with poetry!:) Now I'm maha curious how your short stories may sound like... you should give it a shot!:)

Also, was generally wondering... your 10 year plan had NOTHING to do with 3D! Is that a dead end?:(

Prats said...

Dance doesn't quite appeal much to me, but the music sure does and presently tripping on psy trance.

aMus said...

that was tip tapping ;)...sigh...u have such a beautiful way with the words...
all i could think of when i saw the prompt is the way the boys make me dance to their tunes :)

Preeti Shenoy said...

beautifully expressed! I LOVE to dance too. I think it is as natural as walking--but somewhere along, people worry too much about how they look and what others will say that they think they can't dance.I think everyone CAN. Music and dance are so so so essential.

aMus said...

BANG...did teh tag!!!!!

Keshi said...

Keshi.

Prats said...

@CU thank you....

@preethi Thank you preethi
I think the occassion itself brought out the feelings

@J There are quite a few who don't enjoy dance...but loving music in any form itself is like dance...you dance from within you..

@joy thank you
