Let Us Tango

Let us tango and join our passions In an embrace that may outlive Our needs Let us engulf each other And burn within and without So that the phoenix of desire sated Can rise And the anxiety of now can end Let us feel the emotions That are raw and uncontrollable And even fleeting Let us tango May our inner strength buttress us Containing a want and a need That when satisfied may become A noose around our necks Let us dance and move To the tune we create when emotions gel And opposites meet and combine May the energy we create not blur our reality Altering our perception of what needs or can be done Let us believe that love may conquer all And will eventually prevail Let us hope that passion can heal wounds seen or unseen Despite Pandora’s Box being flung open To get at the prize Let us tango and be strong Let us cherish the now And foolishly look not into the future We are this moment made for each other Let us play the game and be combatants For our common selfish good Love can infiltrate the psyche And sometimes does more harm Though clothed in good intentions Let us tango and be strong
