Gypsy Tango

GYPSY TANGO

The Gypsy Tango roils his Portuguese blood
        Fires of passion leap into his brown eyes.
He asks, pulling at his collar, knees in bend,
        “What were you listening to…”
               Ah...caught him in vulnerable freeze.

A kaleidoscopic spin of a voluptuous skirt,
Hypnotic swirl of hair and beads -
The music stoked by a cyclonic pulse.

I reel in my most prized faithful husband.
         The years keep him coming back
To the same fishing spot -

This is no sordid affair...
It is the cave of wonders.
         May we never escape its chase
He’s got the hots for his Hungarian bride.

A szerelem egyszeruen csak szerelem. Ez egy leírhatatlan érzés.*

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/21/2019 6:58:00 AM I have so much gypsy in my soul, my soul leapt to this poem and tried to claim it. I pushed her away and said "Oh, no, we do not write like this! This is fantastic!" Darling in all ways, Kim. Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/21/2019 7:20:00 AM Thanks so much, Caren! Hugs and a smile...Kim
