Warm Embraces and Echoes of the Bandoneón

-

 


A smooth Spanish melodic sound
Rhythmic Tango music drifting around


Gentle embraces with a soft whisper
As the balmy evening air gets crisper


Peaceful smiles and smooth grace
Happiness on each partner’s face


Quick boleo kicks whipping through the air 
Kind glances and smiling lips on faces that care


Flouncy skirts swishing around the floor
Dancer’s eager feet yearning for more


Strong cologne and mild scent
As the music goes on in soft lament 


Men and women tango to the beat
Some dancing alone and some perched on their seat


Quick steps catch up to the rhythm 
Followers every step, a quiet conversation with him


Lights get dim as the music gets louder
Ladies quickly rush to get their shoes on powder


Mirandas and Cabeceos after each tanda
Cortinas allow rest and then back into the ronda
-San.

Dancing my dreams away...

How I long to dance on the smooth shiny floor, With my dancing shoes on, how I long to dance some more! Everyones feet tapping n dancing to a quick Spanish melody, Soothing to the mind and soul are key. Quick to embrace as we move from partner to partner, Diligently we listen to the teacher and follow her. Wonderful tango orchestras playing a bold tune,  To the extreme peace of mind we once again start getting immune.  Slow as the dusk approaches no time to waste; Dancing well into the hours of night with no haste. Leaves rustling and then wet with rain outside the window, The dancing will continue indoors, steady and slow. Don’t wake me up from this scintillating dream, However beautiful the morning may seem. When o when will we be back on the dance floor? Only to dance some more. - Sanaya

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...

A magnificent sight!!

Through clear glass as I watch the ocean, Its vastness and striking beauty grips me, Deep blue waters end in the horizon, Where, the evening bids farewell to the setting sun. The sun’s reflection cascades on the rippled ocean. Each wave and ripple splashes on the shore, leaving behind white, soft ocean spray, which disappears instantly. As the waves recede, and push back into the ocean, they leave behind smooth, soft sand with slightly rippled impressions on it. I marvel at the beauty of the ocean… The setting sun reveals a wonderful palette of colours in the flawless, dauntless sky… Approaching, far in the distance a dark hue smears the sky increasingly as the night falls… -Sanaya.
