Staring at the one you love and perspire <br />Intense emotions confined in balls of fire <br />The black shirt covers his bold tattoos <br />While she stands and it's him she refuses <br />He challenges her love with a daring stare <br />Trembling she finally admits to the affair <br /> <br />Eyes lock and longing now rawly displayed <br />It's too late to be gentle and to persuade <br />The powerful rhythm of the Tango is heard <br />Surroundings are fading and no one stirred <br />The first touch is fueled with burning coals <br />Lovers standing still to surrender all controls <br /> <br />With a left step he is demanding the lead <br />Giving in she moves backwards as agreed <br />He pushes her but she comes back really strong <br />Both understand what's at stake and prolong <br />Movements are spontaneous and freely driven <br />The dance is a fight and no judgment is given <br /> <br />The Tango is reserved to dance with a lover <br />All will surface and nothing stays undercover <br />He supports her fall with love and admiration <br />Her curves are noted with fever and desperation <br />To challenge a lover offering a fighting chance <br />Only the Tango d'amore is the perfect dance<br /><br />Kristina Louisa Carr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tango-d-amore/
