Poem: Tango
66
Tango
*
The narrow cobbled streets
The moonlit strip of sky
That lights your face
*
The dirty walls shine
The grimy windows wink
And the creaky doors grin
*
We may dream of better
Paved roads, neon lit strips
And bright white doors
*
But the tap tap of our feet
Echo in these alleys
Sweet rhythm
*
Joining the thump thump
of our hearts
where chests caress
*
I clutch you, spin you
Grip you, win you
Never letting go
*
Up close, your face
The look in your eyes
Breaths coalesce
*
Legs twist, spin
Push, pull
In harmony
*
No air dare
Creep between our
Embrace
*
The narrow cobbled streets
The moonlit strip of sky
Why dream of more
*
Than heaven...
Than heaven...
*

Hello Docmo ~ Well constructed Hub with an artistic and erotic nature to the dance. Just want to point out that this woman is most likely wearing a body stocking. Boy, can she do a split. I suppose it is the cultural bent with this type of Tango dance they demonstrate in the performance. Your poem goes along very well with the tone. Are these your painting and do you do the tango? Blessings, Debby
Nice description of the tango. Even though I don't know how to do this dance (or dance period) this really makes me want to learn how to.
Very nice...thank you.
Beautiful poem and great pictures.The rhythm of the poem was similar to that of a tango. Was that your intention?
Doc, you have done it again... awesome. Tango on... :) Welcome back again.
I was there dancing every step - wow!

Such an erotic dance and your poem said it all. Simply awesome.
Agility, passion, heat...art. Yes, the dance, but mainly, you, Docmo.
@just ask susan - is there a better welcome back than to have that dance with you- thanks!
@Debbie- thanks for your comments- although I do paint and I love those colours- they are not mine.
@Irell VL- thanks very much. Do take up the dance it is a fantastic feeling to do the Argentinian Tango.
@andsoforth- thank you very much.
@rjsadowski- I am glad you noticed that- I wanted to cadence of the poem to reflect the tempo and rhythms somewhat. Much appreciated!
@sofs - delighted to be back after a self imposed and circumstantial hiatus. Its nice to be welcomed back! Thank you, sofs.

@acaetnna- thank you so much!
@Amy .. when you say it like that... makes me want to write more! Thank you.
Ooooh, Docmo, so passionate, so beautiful, so almost but not quite erotic - that is your poetry and this very well-chosen video you used to complement it. Well done, my friend. And welcome back. Voted up.
Beautiful Docmo. I'm breathless...Welcome back..
a dance close enough to reach the stars!
The rhythm of the last two line stanza is both breathtaking and exhilarating.
Docmo, the tango rhythm of your poem, and the words, are brilliant! You know I've actually stopped following you, because I thought you have left Hubland for good :) Glad you're back.
Sweltering hot in here Docmo! Beautiful.. enjoyed every bit of it!!
It helped me so much who can do better than that
