NEVER A TANGO (NEVER A DANCE OF TWO)

A collab dance with wordman...

The music is set

Vinyl turning slowly

Sweet lovely tunes of honesty

Here comes the dance with one desire

Only one, desires

My body moves closely towards him

Poised, walking slowly with poise

But my heart is not his--

Started with an embrace

Now, I felt his heart rate raise

his heart rate rises

as he places his hand in mine

slowly moving with the music

as  his mind wanders back in time

with a native girl he left behind

once he fell in love

with a beautiful native girl,

as she danced, her body would twirl

taking him back to a place and time

where his love is not mine

But I want him to be mine

I want him to come back in the present

As he raises his left hand

I wrapped my arms around him

Hoping he'd smell my scent

Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow

My mind is running to and fro

Feet together, moving left to meet right

Hoping he'd fall in love with me tonight

Even if I know this aint' right

I placed my hand on his

his hand on my waist

our hips moving to the music

as hearts pounds and seeks

My body swaying

into the music beat

almost gliding, not moving his feet

my body presses into his

Desperate for his love and kiss

Now his feet together, moving right to meet left

Hoping he'd not notice my desperate breath

Repeat! as I add flare to the step

A counter-clockwise move

And a love that I need to prove

Long and Fluid strides

My heart for you cries

Swivel and turns died

As our movements lied

Only one, desires

Dancing near each other

Never with each other

I put flare on my steps

But I know I'll never have his stare

In a dance that is not fair

Author's Note

As I've said to wordman.. I am never good at doing romantic poems so here is the result, a one sided love.. Finally, we were able to dance in a poem.. Cheers wordman! We hope all will like it.. with love from us. ;)

Photos and words. Perfect. When we dance. We allow our body and mind to become free. Sometimes we can find love and some romance. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Well done both of you.
The writing flowed.
Sometimes it's just not meant to be.
Who said love was easy.

[Zephyr]

This is indeed great work.
Cheers to the wonderful collab:)
Took the readers to a world of swift and elegant emotions, movements and desires.
A unique work indeed.

"Dancing near each other
Never with each other
I put flare on my steps
But I know I'll never have his stare
In a dance that is not fair"
I love this.

I don't wanna Say anything anymore.

The strength of ANY genre is in the details. This isn't a romantic love poem, it's a sensory/sensual poem. You capture the vivid imagery using all the senses & this is the best kind of sensory/sensual writing. It's all about how it feels physically, more than whatever dumb stuff we manufacture in our heads in such situations. Great job! (((HUGS)))

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much Barleygirl.. A big hug to you too.. It so so nice to know that you like it somehow. :)

[Quinn W]

You are wrong, you are amazing at romantic poems. I could envision the two dancing. The woman's emotions were written so clearly and were felt entirely whilst reading. I love your choice of words specifically when you say "Dancing NEAR each other, never WITH each other." That was a very powerful line. I love the backstory of the man as well. A great poem!

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much. It is such an honor for you to say those words. :)

[CAPOLAVORO]

I was hoping people could think about dancing in their mind with this one and here you are telling this "what I want from the readers" thought.. Thank you so much. :)

Sincerely,
