be still, my love,
and listen
to the melody
my heart sings
in your ears
then smile, my love,
and let my hands ruffle
your sweetest thoughts
and I, in turn,
will let your lips
write their poetry
on the fine vellum
this, my skin
and thus, my love,
with tune and lyrics
we’ll twine our song
so we can dance
and listen
to the melody
my heart sings
in your ears
then smile, my love,
and let my hands ruffle
your sweetest thoughts
and I, in turn,
will let your lips
write their poetry
on the fine vellum
this, my skin
and thus, my love,
with tune and lyrics
we’ll twine our song
so we can dance

This is beautifully soft and yet still sensual and seductive. I really like the use of verbs here, urging the loved one to quiet himself and immerse himself in the moment, becoming one with the music. Gorgeous!
Oh, sweet...
Oh, Karen, you always know how to extract the essence... Thank you for seeing this!

Start with a Tango and end with a Tango.

Yes, I love the photo, Bernita. It comes from a presentation I got in an e-mail, an homage to the beauty of women; unfortunately the author is unknown.
Cynthia, thank you for your very kind words and welcome to my blog. :-)
