Salimos A Bailar

Salimos A Bailar
The Tango
Thinking of Daniel


I feel the blood rise to my face–it’s getting hotter.
My heart quickens with every single beat.
Seductive glances– your brown eyes hold such passion.
Hypnotic whispers come from somewhere that is deep.

A man, a woman– in search of one another,
Engage in two-way unspoken conversation.
Internal music—provocative, enticing,
Inspired anticipation lends to rhythmic syncopation.

“Dance with me, dance with me,” I whisper.
Hold me close and slowly linger in my hair.
Lubricated, passionate expression,
Surrender to me, darling if you dare.

The silent music both arouses and it torments,
“Salimos a bailar,” the words I hear you say.
Sultry feelings translate into oscillating motions,
Entangled limbs and torsos interlock and sway.

And we dance the dance both mystical and haunting,
Expressing emotions we’ve desired to explore,
Powerless to change what lies before us,
Resulting in the tango on the floor.

Salacious movements vow to tell our sublime secrets.
Our ravenous hunger is obviously clear.
For an overpowering mesmerizing moment,
The force of magnetism draws our bodies near.

An abrazo has turned poetry in motion,
Throbbing heartbeats pound– then intertwine.
Sense the scent of harmonious contraction,
Magic moments reaching out for the divine.

We dance through space into a starry constellation.
The night air wafts an intoxicating high.
Stolen moon from midnight darkness creeps upon us,
As fiery starlight stabs and penetrates the sky.

The thrusting beat stirs passionate emotion,
The primordial dance of titillating splendor.
A carnal choreography that’s furious yet pure,
The final dance step is the one of sweet surrender.

And we dance the dance both mystical and haunting,
Expressing emotions we’ve desired to explore,
Powerless to change what lies before us,
Resulting in the tango on the floor.
