the tango

something i wrote in 5th grade

T

A

N

GO

The rythem goes

Swiftly moving

Across the glamorous

Croad ballroom

 

Rocking slowly

Back and forth

Like an old

Rocking chair

 

Ladies skipping forward

Gentlemen backwards

Wanting to be together

But forbidden

 

With the music on

Dancing silently

A rapid turn

Going inside

The circle

Turning

Going out

 

As serious

As a tiger

As beautiful

As a red rose

 

Faces turned away

Fearful of

Whats in front

Like a ghost

Is going toward you

Wanting you

But not able to

 

Its of love

And of romance

Of passion

Or of

Fright

The tango
