Once upon a time
you were in my heart
brilliancy within my soul
shadows within candlelight
silhouettes upon an easel of a wall
wrapped tightly in a candlelight shawl

Violins within the music of your voice
rainbows between your heart and mine
shining into the caverns of my eyes
unmasking . . . an unwilling disguise
I fell in love and OH! how I fluttered
like exotic wings of a butterfly

Exotic fans in the wind danced a tango
cheek to cheek was the wind and the sky
swirling upon a translucent dance floor
the skirt in the wind tangoed by
translucent as sweet Spanish lime
Our hearts danced, Once upon a time



Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist once he grows up.

                                            Pablo Picasso

Vic, this is wonderful. "We danced..once upon a time.."What a nostalgic and lonely feel, amidst beautiful images.

lovely, lovely, lovely...I do have one tiny idea to make it just a shade more powerful, only if you're interested

it is swaying and conveying of wondrous emotions and the dance

Thank you Pat..so glad you enjoyed the tango.

lone wolf ..thank you for peeking in today

thank you sandra..nice to hear from you hugs

james...yes i love the tango too   thank you

thank you Virginia..next time i will sway instead of swirl and flutter haa ..although
i dont think there is too much swirling and swaying in a tango..although my heart
was doing the fluttering. I changed the last line to OUR HEARTS DANCED as that is the feeling i was conveying in the poem..instead of We danced.
i think that is better..actually i think i will change the title too..to Our hearts danced.
Thank you for your considerate comments..  

thank you irish rose..always nice to hear from you ..hugs

sven..glad you enjoyed my tango...
