Tango By: Noah Eaton 5/26/02 Here in the portenos I feel invisible Could it be all I believe in was irresponsible? I am an immigrant in a strange place full of strange people Just an infidel without a dream Just a rebel dwelling in misery... I couldn't tell if I was alive or dead Then I heard your heartbeat that helped me resurrect I heard drumbeats pulsing a harmonious melody in my head That night the moon wore a crochet slip dress I couldn't get you out of my head Querés bailar? Sí, gracias Querés bailar? Por favor, una vez más! Come on love, let's get dizzy dancing tango We'll sweep this dancing floor like a tornado You are my affection, you are my obsession So I give you my invited attention Adelante, atras, al costado Left and right we'll bask in the moonlights indigo Tap up your toes and let your hips sway Just promise me that you will stay... Now I have a reason to rehearse the bandoneon We'll leave the rest of our desires to the host's violin Doesn't it feel good to lean on high heels every now and then? So put those feet on the floor and let your arms and legs do all the work Get out and see what its all about Querés bailar? Sí, gracias Querés bailar? Por favor, una vez más! Come on love, let's get dizzy dancing tango We'll sweep this dancing floor like a tornado You are my affection, you are my obsession So I give you my invited attention Adelante, atras, al costado Left and right we'll bask in the moonlights indigo Tap up your toes and let your hips sway Just promise me that you will stay... Come on love, let's get dizzy dancing tango We'll sweep this dancing floor like a tornado You are my affection, you are my obsession So I give you my invited attention Adelante, atras, al costado Left and right we'll bask in the moonlights indigo Tap up your toes and let your hips sway Just promise me that you will stay... Stay and dance... Stay and dance... Stay and dance with me... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (05-26-2002 10:02 PM).] |

Noah... Yes I'll dance with you.... you might have to teach me a few steps though.... I loved this poem.... the mood it sets is just wonderful. I am sorry I don't understand a word of spanish but I can summize what it is saying... what a gorgeous poem!!!! Love, Light and Peace, Sherry Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. But above all... be kind to yourself today.

Hey Noah, I really like this one! It's different from your usual style, but I think that this is one of the best that I've read from you  I'm going to put this in my library, I like it so much! Way to go on this! I know Karate, Kung Fu, and 47 other dangerous words |

I have to agree with Skyfire, this is unusual for you, but absolutely a surprise I loved. Very lovely Noah, and you set the mood very well. There is nothing means more to me than |
