Tango nocturne


Café Nuestra, Buenos Aires close to midnight,

heavy perfumed loud tango classic dressed of sight.

Am I willing to compromise myself in that situation,

two to tango after all, slow slow, quick quick, slow creation.

The slow consumes two beats and the quick steps one,

melancholy and romantic essence in a tied serious spun.

Out of nowhere a manicured hand crabbed my wrist,

gorgeous dark eyes with a rose in her hair, consist.

Closed position right hand on left shoulder,

my left in soft cushion of waist to hold her.  

She is leading me by that beat beyond time and border,

giving me freedom to presume my stumble order.

Whistling and clapping laughter and pain,

sweating in pleasure by this love rhythm insane.

Nocturno de tango, she whispered in my ear,

pressing her body so tied for another gear.

Slow morning dawn exchanges the light of Moon,

and we walking to a near cafe opening soon.

Her english was very little, her spanish very fast,

and I wonder is she still leading me aghast.

https://robertrittel.blogspot.com Living virtualistic through myself. The road I wanted to follow choose me and I can see the cosmos to know itself. I remember only moments where my actions manifested the belief of my passion, choosing my next universe through what I have learned in this one. My fears got lost in dreams, sensing what needed to be done with no thinking. I believe in fairy tales, especially with dragons and how to tame them. I do not need any strange faith to worship that celestial brilliance. Dismissing everything what insults my soul and faithful in those small things, because it is in them where our strength is.
