Best Tango Poems

Life is a dance we were all born to do.
The styles to choose from are more than a few!
Some choose simple two-step; some move with flair.
Some slow dance; some break dance, devil-may-care!
Some free style, while others just dance on cue.

Some tango with zest; some shuffle...

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...

it might as 
well be my birthday
as i hold nature’s gift in my hand
i pause to caress it before i indulge
its form shapely its skin fresh and smooth
there’s nothing like it to ignite all my senses
i gently cut into the skin and each time is...

The anatomy of a poet’s heart ebbs and flows~
  sometimes like the swirling ocean,
  fluent in idyllic idioms and mystical metaphors,
woven from aesthetic elements of nature,
  for inspirations glide through warm waves, 
crashing on shores, when emotions rise with turbulent tides.

Fragrance night, spicy
Breeze tangoes near tomorrow
to green world stage raves
Howling blues stir lilac dark
Starlight, whistling in the park

Clouds keep on drifting
in times of vanishing moon
It's nature's wild dance
a sultry summer tango
when super moon turns mango...

TANGO  (Fibonacci)

He
She
Table
Bold Spanish music
Flask of vintage wine    Two glasses
She so dark    So beautiful    The rhythm?    Maddening!

Lovers chance a tango dance;
passion lights the dark.
Swaying bliss, a stolen kiss,
music ignites sparks.

Romance swirls with hand-held twirls;
eyes gaze with desire.
Red wine lips and tango’s dips 
set the floor on fire.

Moonlight tango

It was a Saturday night, in Buenos Aires, 10:30pm, to be exact. It was a hot summers night, and you could see, and feel, the steam rising from the cobblestone street, here in La Boca barrio*. This is where it all began over a...

 Latin guitar boy 

with mischief in your eyes
 and comfort in your smile

I thought I could forget
that  once upon a night

when final goodbyes
like ash borne clouds 
in filthy skies 
and  short -lived 
stars blinked with regret.



A hundred moons have passed 
 since...

Moonlight captures the freshness of blue

but my eyes are affixed to the beauty of you


ripples brush rhythmically along with the night

my chamber beats faster while I hold you so tight

 
our silence is broken by the sound of my heartbeat

your nearness succumbs sending shivers to...

To tango with a mango;
now that would be sublime;
much sweeter than the bitterness of lime.

With a sticky passion fruit 
I did try to make it merry;
and, once, the innocence of unpicked cherry.

A banana in Havana
I tried, but once beneath the skin
I found it just a...

My tango with the moon is picking up speed
Starting to spin a little faster
Phases flashing
Soon to be splashing
In a hot night tidal disaster

I don't know how deep I'll dip
In the moon's embrace
Or how fast I'll spin till I'm let go

Or what life will be like

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...
