Let's Tango Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Shadow Hamilton

 Let’s do the tango upon the dance floor
Wear the slinky dress that you wore before
Dance with me darling beneath the spotlight
Lost in rhythmical music of the night.

I love how your heart beats when close to mine 
Surreal moments that happen in time
How your hips sway in a sensual way
Those slick leg flicks as we’re dancing away.

Dancing with you I am under your spell
Totally mesmerised, it’s hidden well
It feels as if we are floating on air
Among the stars with ethereal flair.

I wish to tango with you evermore 
Tell me that it's what you are wishing for 
You captured my heart and I am entranced
Have been that way since the time we first danced.

Light my smouldering embers of desire
Tango tonight and torch the world afire
A night to remember our whole lives through 
For this is the night I propose to you.

A wonderful write. This would be the tango to remember as part of the proposal night. This poem would be great as part of a romance novel :-D
