Tango-Waltz

It’s the way our breaths mingle 

Never shying away from each other

Before our eager lips collide

Our heads tilt such as a révérence

_May I have this dance?_

The kiss mimics a waltz at first

Tender, languid, tentative

Clumsily, but sweetly

We speed up to a tango 

_I’m enamored with the way you hold me_

Mischievous tongues interlock as we smile

Our tango-waltz emits flickering embers

Encapsulating our tangled bodies

The world stops so we can keep on spinning

_I want to keep dancing with you_
