~Tango'd Fantasy~

You breathe

delerium into me

knock me

 off balance

disordered 

maddened bliss

trip the musica

 of ardor'd fusion

intensity and verve,

 

dimensionality's

 tango

dance me to insanity

trip my light fandango

dip me to new heights

in your persuasive sensuality

   ~I'm swept away in your vital essence

Frieda, this is a sensory explosion....absolutely love it. Thank you for every nuance of this poem....from the architectual shape of the words in the poem to mimic a tango dancer, to the irresistible music of the tango dancing....it just all goes together to say "Wow!" Love it!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much, jazz'd you caught on to the shape also, still haven't found anyone who knows how to tango! Muchly appreciate your kind words.

[Coyote Poetry]

Powerful words leading the reader to a good place. Good to tango and enjoy being alive. Video gave life to your words. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

I have a friend on here and she said she loved this piece and boy, was she right? This was out of this world, Frieda. I enjoyed reading and the music, makes me want to Tango. I'm a bit like my friend, we dance together in her room or in mine but other times we dance alone in our own rooms but we like to think we dance.... Especially the Tango.

[Frieda P]

Sounds like fun Summer, jazzed you enjoyed and thanks to both you & your friend, dance on...........

[Summer]

You can thank Sye.... She gave me five pages of writing that I should read, trust me it seems like krazillions to me.

[Frieda P]

Haha good old Sye, she's a sweetheart, that's a whole lot of reading...

[Summer]

Yeah believe me it is. She is a great friend to have. Haven't seen her in yonks!

The tango is irresistible. Dancing is something I have never learned, mainly because of dumb adult ideas about dancing drummed into my child noggin. We belonged to a very strict, non-Pentecostal, no instruments music and no dancing church. I remember during second grade, a teacher in San Diego had our class outside to teach us square dancing. My knees were knockin' 'cause I thought for sure lightening would strike me dead on the playground.
So . . . I never learned to dance which is probably good since I have no rhythm. But reading this sure makes me wish I could.

[Frieda P]

Oh my, I can't imagine minichinz, you can dance now! Thanks so much.

[Illidan]

This poem has the passion and force of a tango! I love Astor Piazolla and Carlos Gardel. I can't even express how much I love this :)

[Frieda P]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed! :-)

[Tom]

Ah indeed, music, dance and a deeply sensuous poem and you have all the necessary ingredients for romance and sweet love to evolve in sheer ecstasy !

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your glowing review Tom!

[SyberRose]

I loved that video...such a passionate dance...and a wonderful tango of words leading the way...Enjoyed:)

[Frieda P]

I adore the dance, there's so many good videos, glad you enjoyed Rose. :-)

[Shadow Paradox]

I love this so much, such elegance and grace flows from each line and the music made me want to read again. Beautiful write :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your visit & review Psyche, like the pen name by the way. :-)

[Shadow Paradox]

Very welcome and thank you ~

"dance me to insanity"

yes, hopefully they will keep playing the music so that can happen...i like passion that knocks me off balance..

when my high school girlfriend kissed me my knees wobbled...that's a wonderful reaction...spontaneous combustion.

this poem combusts...but so musically.

[Frieda P]

Awh, you're an old softie from way back jacob, thanks so much....

[Mark]

Okay... at first I thought this was about smoking pot, then I wasn't so sure. I mean it should end with tacos if it's about pot don't you think?

[Frieda P]

LOL!! You're tripping Mark.................

[Mark]

Always.......

[Barbara Walker]

It seems like the last line would be...by your vital essence. No Very nice. Love those words...fandango, tango, verve and bliss!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Barbara, jazzed you enjoyed, I think I'd rather be 'in' it than by it...just saying. ;-)
