Twelve Months ago today I published this first of two texts on Poetbay.

it attempts to create the rythm of the tango dance in its ryhme structure




The Last Tango With You by M.A.Meddings

The last Tango with you

By M.A.Meddings


The dress that you wear so alluringly
Slashed at the back is the ruin of me
And deep blue your eyes devastatingly
Entice and enchant so beautifully
In my last Tango with you


Holding you near so gentilely
Then letting you go momentarily
Our faces so close very nearly
Sweet the first kiss very dearly
In this raptured last tango with you


Refrain

Your eyes meet mine
And your lips so divine
Are the lure that imbime
My dreams


You have taken my heart
As you did from the start
An enigma
An impossible scheme


Now I kneel on my knees adoringly
Then take you for mine imploringly
Knowing your teasing
Is nothing but pleasing
I will dance this last tango with you

Beautiful poem here...

I loved this part :
You have taken my heart
As you did from the start
An enigma
An impossible scheme

Big regards
