Tango

Live, laugh, learn

Soncopation burns in my feet
Anticipation of the latin beat.

Your cheek smooth and warm resting on mine
Your hand pressing lightly at the base of my spine.

My foot raises slowly our hips start to sway
All other couples now melt away.

My heart screams allegro, as our fingertips touch
In unison moving, I'm held in your clutch.

Crimson hem flying, as our legs intertwine,
The heat of my eyes on you claim you as mine.

You trace down my jawline, and seal with a kiss
a passionate Tango, irreverant bliss.

A sensual musical performance...you got some nice dance moves :P
I am a fan of rhyming couplets and I have 2 poems made up of a series of rhyming couplets myself, though with a dark tone.
I'm not a dancer, but this is making me think twice about picking it up thanks to you; you've described it beautifully.

Nicely done :)

Well written. The musicality is well kept by the word choices that must have taken some searching to fit the 'beat' as well as the rhyme.
Enjoyable read. We4ll done.

You've captured a special moment in the dance of a tango. I don't think anyone else has done that here before. You did it well too.

Nothing as beautiful as a proper Tango. Your words made the poem come alive. I roamed Central and south American. It was a honor for my eyes to see the beauty of a perfect dancers. A outstanding poem.

The flow was brilliant; the rhyme and structure made it almost seem musical which was quite fitting considering the subject of your poem. The length and rhyming pattern also added to the impact making it rather powerful. You captured the passion really well and, as I was reading it, I could picture it all happening in my head ^^ Great write

striking and sorrounding fluid movement pulse~ completely entrances ~ captivates in the almost audible rhythms you create with word patterns~

[Amaunet]

wow good poem! the structure and rhyme give it a musical quality in and of itself, while also capturing the passion that makes the tango such a sensual dance!
