A Tango Melody

-




Soft music playing in the distance, with a distinct Argentinean beat,
Ardent couples joining in with swift moving feet.

Centre stage, a wooden dance floor,
Off the beach, with the sound of the vast ocean’s roar.
Most, move in pairs and some left ashore.

Handful of couples slinking around,
With soft tapping bare feet, amongst all the sound.

Hypnotic gaze, a light brush and a glow flickering dim,
In the salty breeze, it’s just her and him.

Stick flames in the sand with the shiny moonlight,
Reflecting in the wavy, deep waters at night.

Partners work together to create,
Something mutually fulfilling and great.

Sweet Spanish melodies that gently play;
Quick and slow themes of the night and day.

Lost in a tranquil trance,
With soulful harmony in every glance.

From partner to partner, as we embrace;
Feel a new essence with stirring grace.

Spellbound in sweet surrender as we glide,
Floating with the tune by which we abide.

Moon above and fine sand below,
Nowhere else we want to go.
Staying in that moment; frozen in time,
Lost inside this melodious rhyme.

Speedy Minutes turning into hours so quick,
From inside the little gazebo, more music we like to pick.

Time prancing on until the very dawn,
Faint luminous sky remains; with people dancing on...

The Lonely Stone Statue

Floating along on a lonely raft, Lost and alone in the sea so vast. Without a care, In and out of consciousness she spotted a fading mountain in the middle of nowhere. Floating closer glimpses of brown through the thick lazy fog she could see.  A Calloused mountain above the restless waves standing proudly. Flanked with green she crossed the heavy mountain, A mammoth task to pull herself through the thick and thin. On the edge, reaching almost the top she noticed a figure, A cold, lone statue she recognised as though it called out to her.  Not knowing what to say, She warmed it in a heartfelt embrace hoping to bring it back to life someday. Slowly she slipping off as though a push with a rough gale, Leaving it behind with a face so pale. As she fell, she stared solemnly ahead into the eyes of the cold, emotionless stone she adored, Unaware of the sorrow it had lured. Below she fell into the sea of depression to drown in her own tears, Leaving behind her worldly fears.  As she hit and s

A Snowflake

  A snowflake drifted wearily towards the earth from the early morning sky, soft sunlit rays streaming down and adding a glow up high.  Towards the earth it drifted weightlessly, suddenly caught and stuck on a warm tall chimney.  Moving gently and ever so slow,  it rolled down the rooftop with a drop of melted snow.  It slid down the window pane, onto the glass and stuck again.  Inside the tranquil, neat home, well kept and pristine, warm cookies, half burnt candles and a Christmas tree could be seen.  A couple nestled on the sofa looking sadly at their foster son, sitting by the tree.  Small child playing with an old toy eager to open gifts and see.  For it might be their last family Christmas together,  as he might be taken away and into foster care by the end of December.  Innocent child opening gifts with a bright grin, oblivious to the grief and playing with his new toys with full attention.  Quiet Christmas morning while the little child was sitting on the floor, a lady from the

The Day Ends

   Touching the earth through the clouds out comes a golden ray, Rising sun, dawn of day. Sweet child your eyes open ever so slightly, Blinded by the sunlight so bright and shiny. Pulled into a waking state, Staring into a new day and a blank slate. Blend in with nature taking little pleasures so true, As the garden leaves fall from trees under the sky ever so blue. Flow through the hustle bustle of the day, Bring home your light as the day fades away.  Setting sun into the water at the bay, Along the drive waves crash and flow away. Soft light rays that kiss the water, Just like the father feels for his daughter.  Flying Sail of a sailboat bathed in the suns rays,  Rich against the sky lit backdrop covered in haze. The sky is a mystery of colours Orange and pink,  Beautifully reflected into the sea waters and then they sink. The sun plays hide and seek with the clouds before it fades away, The Day slows down as darkness hi
