Tango Teasing

One swift move tempting
 sunburned curls to find 
     a whole new place
     across her face
           around vanilla shoulders
dress clings to hips
purple arranged on pouting  lips,
     kohl around almond eyes
     calculating, 
     investigating lustful look 
   
                   ~~~~~~~~ 

           twirl,                          swirl,
     oh yes                        girl                  
 High heels tango,    abrazo,
hand on back,          barrida
 full stop...                 freno
   breathless                 hunger
       Tango.                       Castigada

That's that old rogue himself Willie Nelson. Darcy seems to be wearing shoulder pads and Richard is always wooden. Enough of them...I hunger for more poems like this Darren.

Very clever, young padowan. I don't know squiggly goo from the tango like you but I recognize excellent poetry when I waltz into it, cha cha cha

I loved how your formatted this poem with first a vivid description of that first alluring moment when the dancers find themselves face to face and then their bodies twirling and swirling to the music. Et, aver la vidéo qui complémente si bien le tout, c'est parfait. Wonderfully done my friend. A fave:) Amitiés

Good Afternoon Darren. This is beautifully perfect in construction and composition. The execution and presentation is marvelous. I love the tango and I also adore the paso. Oh the wonder and passion of it all. Well done entirely and completely Darren. Honestly. Have a good afternoon Penguin. -- smile --

That passion, just as with the flamenco, is palpable, it's poetry in motion and pure lust :) And I love dancing it and witing it. Thanks Lisa!

Thanks my friend. I hoped to show in the second part to show the man and woman dancing, but that's quite difficult :)

Absolutely brilliant ... your words dance off the page Darren love the tantelising imagery in the first part of the poem - I have two left feet and am in awe of those who can dance. I like the clever way you formatted the final part of the poem:-) hugs Jan xx

Hahaha Jan, sensual, eh? I love that part of the film :) Shame I can't dance anymore, or I would swim across the Canal and a bit further, and teach you ;)
