you raise your knee 
then stamp the foot down in a quick thrust
as a mare in warning, snap your head back
we lock eyes
then meld in each other's arms
we move together
your hand upon my hip
my hand secure at her shoulder blade
the other arm folded in holding the hand
she must be maintained in this position
to lead her in the curving moves across the floor
i am the Earth holding the Moon in our orbit
as we swirl thru our own universe
it is a dramatic reenactment 
of a movie that inspired her, we began lessons
another notch in her list of accomplishments
it is an unending play at playing
i am forever grateful to the request
we learn the tango, sway, milonguero
i may not be the most adept
not exactly someone to be envied
as we glide across the floor
but as i hold you
as the music surrounds us
your eyes held me in more than a magical moment
i have come to know, That's Amore
when you walk in a dream
knowing it is not a dream you are holding
thankful you never loved the Charleston
yet, if that is what it takes
i will add it to my burdens for love
there exists no cross to0 large to bear
and in spite of my initial thoughts
i love every moment with you
kind of like sitting at the table
waiting for you to walk in
dressed and ready to depart
as my eyes fill with you now ready
i never remember a moment spent waiting
the stars are drooling pasta fazool
