Wait like Tango

In argentine tango, we woman wait. It is a male dominant dance. Traditionally the men are trained solo and the woman depend solely on the lead to create the dance when they come together. It's beautiful and terrible at the same for the woman who tends  to anticipate and feel that she  needs to work harder to succeed in the dance than she actually does. Oh what a relief when she learns to let go and follow. Oh what a joy when the man will direct her movements  with confidence.

This is beauty. The two are a tramendous machine.

Candles remind me of you. 
Stars burning brightly do too.
The soft of the night,
Consistent light,
they surprise me, remind me of you.

Lessons are offered for Tango,
I think that maybe you'll go. 
But an aphrodisiac 
Always brings me back
To lovely Avocados and Mango. 

Words also remind me of you.
Turns out what you said was true. 
That running so fast,
Won't make it last, 
The silence, it gives me a clue.

i felt your arms


It was something strong 
Stronger than my worries
You pulled me down the the wet lawn
And I didn't care,
You were so much there. 

I felt your love
While you didn't let go
In the dark
While I struggled to get up
So warm and full 
More love than I was showing myself

Hovering still so strong
I let go the the damage 
Melted
Felt something 
You were so there
And you weren't leaving. 

Sing

Something new is here, 
drawing us apart.
I know that I can't sing,
But this is on my heart...

It's hard to stand up straight today. 
When I leave it's because I want you. 
If I could give my self to you, 
Would you never leave me too? 

I had a dream you left,
Left me standing there...
Because I was not worth 
Your thought, your love, your care... 

I cannot say I'm good, 
And if you leave that's fine,
Find your heart somewhere 
And I'll try to find mine.

It's hard to stand up straight today. 
When I leave it's because I want you. 
If I could give my self to you, 
Would you never leave me too? 

If we never see each other through, 
Maybe this path we follows ends,
Remember me in passing time,
Even if only as friends. 
My life is made of walls and waves. Colored by the lights of sky and caves. 
Reflections of the future and visions of the past, 
it's always been the little things in life that last. 
-
  My heart has made a conclusion,
About the utterance of your illusion. 
The spin of a glove, a roll of the sleeve, 
and all of my suspicion was granted seclusion.

  Lovely you were in word and rhyme,
pleasant, and all of your lies sublime. 
  But there was another story they all told me, 
lacking in luster and any kind of glory... 

  They saw what you were and I ignored the warning. 
Passed by the signs and enjoyed the warming. 
  Like a two sided joker, I was played the fool...
 And I only stayed to test the rules. 

  Rules I found were meant to be broken, 
the trick of the light with plastic words spoken. 
The cooler it became, it just wasn't the same. 
  When the spell is past, the magician will say, 
the fool only has herself to blame
I press my face against the mirror
And wish that it would sway...
Bending from this present world
I'd let it take me away. 

It has seen me through, 
my best and worst
Emotions show 
no lack of thirst. 

I start them up 
to shut them down,
The purpose of that, 
will never be found. 

I wash my face and close my eyes
And see this world with all its lies.
Beyond the mirror it must be better 
A window which inspired this letter 

So mirror, mirror on the wall,
Up on the counter, up I crawl,
Closer to my other half,
Merging as I start to laugh

Mirrors show no sympathy.
