I'm looking the Sun in the face!

About Me

I am a professional belly dancer living in NYC. I like to bring joy to people and I wish life were more simple. I think a lot about the meaning of life and I believe in Judaism and love Israel, which I consider my home land, though I was born in Russia and grew up in the US. I have many different types of friends from various backgrounds and that makes life more interesting and enjoyable. At the moment, I am also taking sculpture classes and will put some of my photos up soon! Visit my belly dance site at www.ValeriaEntertainment.com To get your copy today, write me an email with the subject "DVD".I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Heroes:

An ImageAn image I reach for Like a mirage in the desert So pleasant Yet an oasis so distant This thirst for destined water Has subconsciously taken power Over my desire Has left a teasing taste On my tongue And I endlessly long For some idealized tint Of a crystal green notion I chase after any hint Of that Mediterranean passion Embedded in my mind A bitter sweet call A chest full of tears A familiar shadow appears A dancing ghost A host To a life I missed Reminds me I was once kissed By that mystical sun I have begun To feel my way back Through that ancient sweet music To some love that I lack It shines with gold luster The dream that I reach for Gleaming in the night sky My link to the endless Passage of time To the scenes I can’t ignore Are the disorienting murky waters that I bear In my soul A hole Like a whirlpool Sucks you into my eyes And replies With the tide Pulling me back to the shores Of a land I can’t hide In its far reaching arm I confide The vast sands that I’ve seen The rhythms that I’ve heard The warmth that I’ve felt The life I desired The people I admired Cannot be replaced Even when I’m faced With a present So absent From the future Ingrained in the picture That’s framed by my past.
