ERZULIE
FIRE DANCER
It is the
rhythm of his soul that incite the words, the incantation
that
passed her red lips, her body swaying ever so slowly at first
to excite
his attention long enough to begin their sacred dance
Her primal
force undulates with the pangs
that
plague her heart
she
becomes his private dancer
The story
begins …
Her eyes
command, yet she will never ask you to bow before her
for hers
is not a dance of deception
She begins
to reach ecstatic rhythm
as a tantric
elevation catapults the lovers to higher realms
A Kaleidoscopic Syncretism of emotions and ideals,
She is the
Storm that manifests in deep deep passion
From the
heights of joy she soars,
straight
down into the depths of misery.
Concubine,
Lesbian Lover of God,
her dark seed
can only be conceived in the purest of loves heart fires
Married to
three husbands she wears rings
to honor them
all equally.
She is the
Polygamous Mother Lover
Protectress of
the Oppressed
armed to stand
against injustice
This empath
Loa will fight for what is right
Yet rare is the time that she can
stop her own tears from falling
when she realizes her hearts’ most
fervent desires are unattainable
It is too much for Erzulie to
bear.
But as quickly as the tears fall
her anger
swiftly rises to become the arrows of justice
Aimed and
daring any man to raise his hand against
woman or child
She alone
stands in between
She spews
forth from the belly of fire that resides
inside all
women who love too much.
She is the
everyday woman, imperfect Priestess, carnel yet
ethereal
Scarred
from loves tribulations, Yet never giving up on love
This is
the Dance of Le Flambeau
