Best Tangoed Poems

Vino

Vino
Vinny
There was no doubt I was seeing double
Vinny poured another glass
I actually think it was whiskey
There we sat, at the back of the Angelos Steak and Kill
The joke wasn’t lost on many
The joint was dark and filled with smoke
Each booth offering up its own unique...

They elude me now ...words
Drinking befits a drowning man possessed
Swimming off this broken page
Baton winning in a relay race
I breached the ribbon sliced with chest
Joy! I gasped


Grown tired of my own riddles
Those halting jagged lines
Conversely I committed 
So disrespectful of my crimes
In dispatchment utter lunacy
Forgiveness...

The Gilded Leaves of Autumn Sigh

As the gilded leaves of Autumn sigh,
I’m haunted by the shadow of a long-lost love.
I’ll always remember the soft song of a summer breeze…
from golden days when we were carefree butterflies.

I’m haunted by the shadow of a long-lost love…
memories of...

Wedding wines - rather champagne shines
and bubbly breakout of blushing bride.

Groom with giant heart, gracious, grateful - grips
her hand with his handsome wholeness. Helps

his lovely lady into limousine, longing for her lips.
Laps leaping, longing, leaving the crowd’s “so long!”

Cans chiming cheers. Crowd chuckles at car’s...

Do you remember our first kiss?
 
It`s captured eternally, on the canvas of my heart.
The oil of our pinnacle painted by Times' lasting brush.
Relived everyday, I refuse to let the moment dry.
Depicted, is day idly laying back as 
night mischievously races forward.
The enchanting hour, sunset,...

You dear are my fascination 
Exceeding my expectation
Thrilling me making my heart race
There’s something in the way you move
I love how you sway to my groove
With every step you match my pace
Waltz, rumba, salsa or tango
More delicious than a mango
Sexy wearing leather or lace
My fingers...

Hungry reader, wild sea lover, wordsmith, listener of dreams and lies

Daughter of beloved parents –strong-- longingly and sorely missed

Left Alaska, empty nester, wrote a book and growled through heat of Greece and Crete

Heartbreak through a broken friendship--in a whim went on to Kenya to greet...

SWEATS and SWEETS

Shooting sighs and moans we fired last night still glows
As tangoed silhouetted shadows hungered love dancing
Peeping breeze outside match our whispers and calls flow
Desiring to dip and sway like leaves our top wanting
Our hands and lips pastel strokes to light brushes show

Two bared...

Edith had been suffering from shoulder pain
She'd developed a stoop and only her left shoulder would sag
When she went to see her doctor
He put all the blame on her weighty handbag

One afternoon she had time to spare
So she decided to empty it out
Anything that wasn’t...

In a universe far far away
There lived a penguin, whose thoughts did weigh
Heavily on his mind.
He thought of a vast array of things big and small
But there was one facet he thought of most of all..
Love.
Love being that for a penguin
See he had a lot...

She's a seductive Merlot,
wears pearls like a lady
slurps oysters like a sailor
swears like a banshee when
 she can't have  her own say,
tiny bit of sugar, lot of spice
not the type of girl you 
bring home to mother,
doesn't give a bird flip, 
she's tangoed with...

Faint away Ry Cooder 
as the candle flame danced 
reddish green and the wick crackled 

Cassiopeia together 
through the night screen 
crooned Diana Krall 
and a dying moon 

three white birds 
softly perched at the 
window sill 
hoping to join in 
their warble a suitable...

I was a creative choreographer, for superb Broadway musicals and plays,
As musical winds choreograph motions, throughout any of our rosy days.

I lived for charms of elegant dance, for its beauty will forever be with us,
As moon and sea make beautiful dance partners, since  gravity...

Have you ever seen your organs on display?
it's quite... mesmerizing 
a.... disturbed euphoria if you will

The first item that I gazed upon
was my heart, it's beat
ever flowing in a rapid succession
of strings and multiple palpitations 

I smashed the displayed counter 
and with my left hand...
