Salomé In Dream

by Charles Albano

Luscious-lipped
to fill doting eyes,
soft, turned lips
wake flesh from slumber,
angular-framed
to pre-defined limits,
voluptuous
enough.
Little Salomé,
this night is mine;
the grape has withered,
and soon the vine.

About The Poet

Although not a member of the dance community himself, Dr. Charles Albano admires and finds beauty in belly dancing and other forms of dance as performed by women.

Charles loves to write poetry--poetry of a very broad and diverse nature, poetry that touches on interests ranging from dance to science fiction. He uses both rhyming and free verse styles of writing, and has been writing poetry for about eight years. He enjoys it because it requires creativity which, for him, is one of the personal footprints we may leave behind in this life.

Since boyhood Charles has been interested in the archaeology and mythology of Egypt along with the native peoples of the Western hemisphere, particularly Mayan and Incan.
