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
