Strip For Me - A poem by Bob Doughtie.

3828582300?profile=originalSTRIP FOR ME 

 

you dancing gigglin’ from your knees 

moving that head spasmodically 

bucking those hips from side to side 

steppin’ then glidin’ oh my oh my 

why you tryin’ to fly 

compressing and contorting to n fro 

look at cha waitin’ to go 

yet those demons say hell no 

stars bursting brightness from on high 

 reaching down to you as you sigh 

confusion conjures illusions beckons with fantasies 

reality jolts and whispers remember me 

ghosts swirl around banshees wailin 

flailin ships rock to n fro
