Tango dance Lovers

An improvision of closeness,
a single body with four legs.
sensuality and seduction,
a gesture with ambiguity.

A single body with four legs,
sensing each other through movement.
Putting us in sphere of action,
like total trust through connection.

sensuality and seduction,
capture his every attention,
by tricks of tenderness that tease,
movements of hips with ease and grace.

A gesture with ambiguity,
overwhelmed with ardent embraces.
The pulsing energy within
feelings that says it without words.

A Retourne is a French poetry form wherein repetition is used, employed. It consist of four quatrains (four-line stanzas), with each line having eight syllables. The trick is though that the first stanza's second line must also be the second stanza's first line, the first stanza's third line is the third stanza's first, and the first stanza's fourth line is the fourth stanza's first. Retournes can but do not have to rhyme.

    Kelleyanna,
    I loved this poem. You have managed to pen a very elegant form and held to the subject very well. I loved where this poem took me. The feeling of dancing and how it combines trust and love of the dance together, in order to pull off a beautiful togetherness. Exquisite write dear and I am truly delighted to have read it.
    Great Job,
    Take Care,
    Kay
