1743. Staying Power

Just one tanda
Can lift my heart
For an evening
And the next day
Giving me
The strength
I need
To stay


Tango

1683. Butterfly Smiles

A professional
Tango
Dancer
Made my
Night
With these
Words
Tonight:
"It is my
Pleasure.
You are an
Excellent,
Excellent
Dancer.
You are
Like
A butterfly."


Tango, San Francisco

1601. Remembering Omar Vega

Omar Vega
Was a star
Extinguished
Far
Too young.
A dancer
World
Famous
Known
For his
Milonga
And tango
Preeminence,
He graced
And danced
With all of us.
He was
Quick to love
And a man
Of passion.
He made
Every woman
Feel that she
Was the center
Of his attention -
Herself a star
In his imagination.
We dancers
Learned of his
Untimely death
Through impersonal
Email
And mid-party
Announcements,
Hardly worthy
Of his gifts
To us.
We heard
We'd lost
A favorite
Local lady's man,
Character, and
Tango compatriot.
This man,
Who made
Me feel
Like the best
Dancer
Every time
We waltzed
Together,
Who held me
In tango's
Close
Embrace,
And told me I
Have an angel's
Face,
Will be missed
And fondly
Remembered.
Never a romantic
Partner but
A favored
One in dance,
This friend is
Now laid
To rest.
May there be
Milongas,
Tango music,
And love
For Omar
Every day
And night
In heaven.

1093. Bye Bye Casanova

An Argentine
Tango Casanova
Tried to tempt me
To indiscretion
By telling me
Others warned him
To steer clear
Of me,
A heartbreaking
And difficult
Beauty.
He hoped
His ruse
Would land me
In his bed.
He was mistaken
As many others
Before him.
I left happily solo.
He had to find
His own ride
Home.


Tango, San Francisco

874. Argentine Dancer

An exotic stranger
A man with long hair
Pulled back
In a ponytail
He's too confident
To be American
He must be
Argentine
You can tell
By the wild
In his eyes


Tango, Admiring Men, San Francisco

They've made
An arrangement
For future
Trespass

Another dance?
She smiles slyly

871. Mismatched Partners

Two tango dancers
In a close embrace
Each looking
Opposite directions
A smile creeps
Across his face
He looks
Excited and aroused
Her face
Shows boredom
And confinement
He doesn't know
Neither does she
Their stark contrast
Only the crowd
Sitting and watching
Can see


Tango, San Francisco

875. Carefree

She looks wild
With joy
As she dances
A huge childlike
Smile
On her lips.
She must be new,
A more experienced
Woman coos.
She doesn't know
How she's being
Observed
And criticized.
Good for her.
If she doesn't know
She cannot care,
Another woman says.

Brave enough
To meet mine

In which

Form your voice

You know
Each others'
Names

Brings
New energy

Like those
Who must
Howl
At the moon
