Short Tangoed Poems

He tangoed into my life,
black eyes flash-bang exploding,
proffering his red-rose lips,
sparking fiery lust....

Everything boils down 
To chaotic nonsense, or
So it is written.

Einstein and Bohr tangoed
On tiptoes over 
Unsavory uncertainty 
“Why would God play dice?!”

Buddha already knew
Though, he 
Looked on laughing 
“When you are done, 
Come and find me”...

The day was white with cold 
It slipped from heavens grasp 
And tangoed with the wind
As it fell happily down 

Unique in its perfection
A falling star 
Borne in freezing sky
Coming to meet me in person

Wrapped in its beauty
I tried to grab it
Hold it close and make it mine

I watched the world melt in my hand...

New love – white hot and ravenous,
     gasping air as reason struggles.
           Oh – ardor of flambé; 
       sweet still, in flame’s repose.
Though a dance once tangoed - waltzes 
    …just a caress, old embers spark.

Warm winds tangoed with the cottonwood trees,
And butterflies were swirling on the breeze,
Here there and everywhere, on strange journeys,
The meadows full of color, and sweet memories!

The golden summer seemed to pause in appreciation,
As the dance with breezy blooms caused sensation.
They soon twirled over my head in joyous rotation,
Later yielding again, to exotic bloom temptation!...

I watch in hunger as you dance,
I linger here in shadowed light,
While hoping for the briefest glance,
To fill my dreams another night.
Old music pulses through the air,
As in her arms you dance delight,
A vision that my eyes dare share,
To fill my dreams another night.
I love the way your body sways,
Erotic moves that hold my sight,
A tangoed beat so surely plays,
To fill my dreams another night.
I watch in hunger as you dance,
To fill my dreams another night.
