A Tango Poem by Alison Mujati

A tango

Two cannot dance together unless they have agreed
Dance with me until the sun is up
Let us explore the dreamland till daybreak.

In the darkness of the night,
Let me be the moon and the light of million stars

Either driving or cruising in your car,
I am not dust but the carpet of the tarmac.

Within torrents of rain,
I cover you up with my love umbrella

With that hoarse and raspy voice,
I am your eloquence and sweet music

Cry many tears,
Behold my hand w ready to wipe sorrow dry

In the blazing sun,
Let me be the faithful shadow

For better, for worse
Two is magic
Let us do acts
I hope the world will see the beauty of a tango
