"Scorpion dance"

Baptised into the depths of

not his world

a circled tail
a stunning view

mesmerising
to the mere few

a need of soul
as black as hell

crouching foolishly
to toll the bell

a gripping roar
thrown out to the stars

"Release Me!"

I beg of you
Snap off these bars

I cannot awaken any more
I cannot see where you are

but I shall

to a silken wrap

slip silently in to your spell

for of trodden woven light

the cobwebs

as veils mysteriously
become my sight

Bells silently hanging
upon that stinging tail

I seduce, or deduce

it is quick

sharp

without

fail

The Scorpion is the fighter whose silent words is the two edge sword.
A spirit guide that brings a very sharp pointed mesasage. Listen, listen, listen, is that the wind are a swing of the blade--------------------------------------------- I got the point.wow

You could be talking about any number of things, including dancing scorpions, very mcuh 'out the box'..., beware of these critters though, i've been stung a few times by them, man, the pain...

soph! this...is...brilliant! i adore the shadows outside the box. the silent bells hanging...a need of soul, black as hell...aye, i could just rearrange your lines and it would still make sense in my mind.

and, as sir earl said...could mean a number of things...but watch out for the critters...i got stung once too...the ache is horrid. *shudders to remember* they have red glowing eyes...that's enough of a warning.

you rock, chickie, and on a sunday, too!

more of all! hug bouquet head banger
