Just tell me

83

By A.A. Zavala

Just tell me...
Just tell me...

There is no sound sweeter on the face of the earth than the sound of a woman’s voice.

I ache to hear yours.

Telling me that you wish to see me upon my soft, inviting bed.

So that you can come and join me, and wrap your arms around my head.

With that look upon my face that invites you to come near,

So that I may whisper my sensual desires into your ear.

Feeling my hands as they caress your back,

Sending shivers through your body, of which

I have a knack.

Close your eyes my dear and soon you will feel.

The kisses as they land on the places that cause

you to squeal.

With your fingers running through my hair, you guide me through your zones.

I can sense your heart beginning to quicken, and can hear you begin to moan.

There is no need to hurry or quicken our pace.

You will be staying with me all night, and I will not

loosen my embrace.

I yearn to have your body, your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Becoming one with you tonight is my only goal.

Just tell me…

Gail, I can always count on you to make me feel all warm and fuzzy about myself. For all the romantic poetry I write, I tend to keep a low profile in public. However, when the opportunity for intimacy comes, I certainly relish the moment. Thank you for the kind words and all the blushing you caused.

Kathy, always so astute. I had the opening phrase stuck in my head for a couple of weeks, and decided last night to write down how I felt. I was feeling romantic last night, so the words just settled in place. Had to hold back, because I had more I could have said. But I feel that I wrote enough to get the the chemical reaction started. Looks like I succeeded. As always, thank you for visiting.

kallini2010 Level 7 Commenter 7 months ago

Carlos, yes, I peeked. I don't deny it.

"I can't resist you what is good is there in trying?

what is good there denying you're all that I desire?"

You should hear Daniel and me singing the song.

He is best at the line "Don't pity me!!! Don't pity me!!!"

The Spanish version he could not master past one line.

Yesterday he told me -

- Mom, your voice really matches.

- Matches what, darling?

- The song.

- I don't understand.

- You sing like the singer.

- ???

- Your voice is .... (something that I like to hear, although I doubt it is true).

So, yes, I read/peeked, but there are a couple of reasons. If I didn't - it would be impolite, wouldn't it?

I could have not read and left you precisely the same comment - but I don't do that. I don't leave comments unless I read a hub till the end.

I am a voyeur like the rest of us, but only to a certain extent.

I always think that female voices remind us of our mothers even if only subconsciously, but I do prefer male voices or low female voices. Even for studying foreign languages, it is recommended to listen to male voices first. They are more pronounced.

As far as erotic "memoirs" go - I would not know what to tell - I am terrible - I prefer to be on the receiving end. If a man could talk, it is heaven, if he can't, he is staying on the sidewalk.

There was one guy whom I met a year ago. He is ten years younger and we were taking classes together. There was nothing. Last week he came up to me (he was out of sight for 8? 9? months) and first told me "You lost a lot of weight" which made me feel that I was an elephant last year and than ten minutes later

- What can I do to seduce a woman like you?

- If you ask a question like that, nothing. Nothing you can do...

It always makes ME wonder what I should have said and done.

If you ask me now, what I am talking about I would not be able to tell you. Pondering Dolores and her conversation with...

Augustine, you're gonna make the ladies fall for you even more than they already have with this beautiful and romantic prose. A sexy poem too; can I hire you once in a while to write poetry to someone and pretend its me when they're mad at yours truly? Seriously impressive prose poem writing A.A.

A.A. Zavala profile image

A.A. Zavala Hub Author 7 months ago

Svetlana, the ignorance of youth. The young man has yet to cultivate the talk to match his drive or desire. The line he gave you is interesting, because I heard another young man use a similiar line earlier this week on a younger woman. He was dressed like someone from an MTV reality show. Kind of like an urban clown. Anyhoo, he asked the girl what's a G like him got to do to get with her. She looked at him, laughed, then walked away. Maybe you should have laughed...

Delores has many things to say to the many characters she intereacts with. As I recall, she's a woman of action. She drives the direction of the conversation. If it get's boring or uninteresting, she drives it off a cliff.

A.A. Zavala profile image

A.A. Zavala Hub Author 7 months ago

Alastar, thank you for the kind words. I'm completely honored and privileged that I have followers that enjoy my poetry. It just happens that my female followers are all beautiful, well read, cultivated, and can extract emotion and passion from my poems. Sometimes when you strike the iron while it's hot, the results are rewarding.

Your a man of substance, stature, charisma, and intelligence. So for you to ask me to write a poem on your behalf to get you out of trouble is serious. I got your back, but I need to know. What the hell did you do to get into trouble?!

Happyboomernurse profile image

Happyboomernurse Level 8 Commenter 7 months ago

Oh, the comments between you and Alastar are so funny, but they also touch on something I thought when I first read this sensual and romantic poem- "A.A. could make a good living writing poetry like this for a lot of men out there who haven't got a clue what women really want. This is what they want. Not shallow lines, but words that speak to their soul, that fill a need for emotional and then physical intimacy, the feeling of being respected, yet wanted, cherished and held. The reciprocity of pleasure... I could go on, but you get the point."

Of course it's hard to picture Alastar at a loss for the right words that would reach a woman's heart, but there are many, many men who could use a primer of poetry written by you, A.A.

A.A. Zavala Hub Author 7 months ago

Gail, thank you for the awesome review! I'm afraid that as lucrative as it would be to be a professional poet (do they exist?), I can only write and create from emotions that I can feel for myself. SO, the poets who write for greeting card companies can breathe a sigh of relief. Gail, thank you so much for the support and glowing accolades. I know I can ALWAYS feel warm and fuzzy from your comments.

MartieCoetser Level 8 Commenter 7 months ago

Augustine, this poem of yours had made quite an impression on me - its simplicity, the quality and pureness of sensual expression, the honesty... innocence ... natural, pure yearning of a normal man... (OMG, no woman will ever develop a headache with this kind of lover in her life)... and also so impressive is the total absence of common perversion... and the most impressive is the effect of the poem - instant, instinctive arousal. (Swallowing my breath again :)) Augustine, this poem of yours is truly a little jewel in the erotic genre.

I don't see myself as a writer of romance or erotica - As a writer I tend to be more of a philosopher, or moralizer and even dictator - but this poem is now for me a giant of a challenge. Will I be able to write a poem like this?

I really can't resist the challenge. I'm going to react on this poem - if you don't mind? And what if I am successful? We can easily create a modern Song of Songs.

I want to do what I can to get you out of the dog house and back at the foot of the bed. That's what bro's are all about. And because it's you, I'll even print it out on special paper.

Martie, that would be just what the doctor ordered. I love to gain insights into what women find sensual and erotic. Even men who understand women and know how to respect and treat them can always learn something new. Love and sensuality are rare traits that will never go out of style.

I'm so honored that you enjoyed reading this piece, and that it has compelled you to write and share some of your more intimate thoughts. It's not often that writers can colloborate and share on a subject that is so complex and intimate. I wait with bated breath to read your work.

Erotica at it's finest hour. The one two lovers get to spend in each others hearts, arms and carnal desires. As a man I felt your pulse racing, waiting for her arrival to be with you the one she loves and requires to fill her utmost desires.

You both fade into blue together and the room spins with your lust for each other and then you both hit the showers and repeat it all over again. How beautiful, how sweet, how delicious. Well done A.A. rated way UP in cloud 9...

I have written other poems touching on intimacy that I will link on this hub. I'm also working on another poem that may be more romantic than intimate. But one never knows where everything could lead. Loved your poem, and I hope you feel compelled to share more.

Augustine is courting all the women on HubPages....

"Un poquito" - "a little of everything (imagination, provocation, happiness, something... feel free to translate) and mucho mucho amor.

October - a month for love? Porque? Never mind. Maybe I had too much wine. Blame it on MCK.

Svetlana, it would appear as if I'm cavorting all over hubpages, just whispering sweet nothings into the ears of any woman willing to read and swoon. You'd be wrong. I can't whisper.

October for me is the month of love. I just realized that a significant number of my romantic memories occured during this month. Why? For me its the cool clear weather, the early darkness, the opportunity for haunted hay rides. Good snuggling month. Mck is a connoisseur of fine music, wine, and beautiful company. October is bringing out the romantic, seductive, creative, and best of us all. I'm in awe...

kallini2010 Level 7 Commenter 7 months ago

Augustine, I was joking - I would not know whether you would or would not whisper. Besides I don't believe in public whisperings - it is all pretense to me.

I was listening to music and drinking wine. I wrote something - the first effort was as mck put it "less than charming" - complete and utter rubbish. But it made me laugh. I could not even get drunk. Damn!

The second attempt was born as I was finishing the bottle. I consider October to be my month - for an obvious reason. However, my romantic memories have nothing to do with months. Even though last year A. #1 told me "you are very romantic and passionate". In October. I remembered. Because he happened to be right.

This year I would have told him "Bugger Off!" Last year I was vulnerable. This year I cannot make myself feel for those losers. There is no one for me. Lame, boring, unimaginative, ... I am not such a gift either.

That is my official line: "Why would you want a pain in ...?" That is my signal: Can you handle me? No? Don't bother.

I am sorry I am not being very romantic. I tried - I can't. Music, wine, dance, conversation? Yes. Romance? Who with?

God, I need another bottle. Remember how you told me that I look for love in all the wrong places? I don't look for it anywhere. Only music and dance makes me feel. That is why dancing tango being hold in tight embrace by a strange man I am capable to forget that I am with someone - I still feel alone. It is so enjoyable.

A.A. Zavala Hub Author 7 months ago

Svetlana, I knew you were joking. That's why I was joking back. Because I thought it was funny.

I see honesty in your new line. To be fair, everyone can be a pain the ass. I'm assuming you take it to another level? Your new signal, will it be spoken or listed on the front of a t-shirt? It is difficult to be romantic while alone. Your new avatar picture seems to corroborate that you love dancing. Tango, the forbidden dance.

kallini2010 Level 7 Commenter 7 months ago

No, I hate things on T-Shirts. If anybody puts anything there, there is a good chance I can ask him "What does it mean?" leading to all sorts of lame answers. Living up to my reputation. It is even more seductive. Geez, I feel more like a man - what people like? Confidence. The fact that I no longer care. It's ridiculous. The opening of eyes now - "You....ah!" Where have they all been last year? Blind? Blind. I am not interested. I don't want to carry romance on my shoulders. You know that I can write it for a battalion. But it would be the same - the conversation between me and myself. Romance between me and myself. I want the other party to PARTicipate, not just read the lines. And the photo - it is not tango - the hint - the frame is open - in tango it is a close embrace - face to face and the best hint that I love - partners look away as if not wanting seeing each other. I don't.

A.A. Zavala Hub Author 7 months ago

Face to face is a good indicator of interest, maybe love. As for the t-shirt, your right. If you can't read and understand, then you may have to ask questions. ASking you the wrong question seems to be a big turn off. A man who knows the answer, or can take the initiative to find out, maybe a winner?

Whispering is over-rated and just tickles the ear. Dropping your voice to the depth of huskiness is supremely sexy and sends a woman over the edge. Remember that little tidbit.

Any man in a T-shirt with a message is a loser.

I am too old for lame T-shirts.

I don't find them attractive.

To me, the mere fact is a turn off.

One man (a young one) had a number of t-shirts with 42 on them (both the number and the text in French). It was "42 zero five" - something like that -it was his friend's business name in France. I asked him if he could have given me one (an orange one) - I don't think he understood. I would not wear it anyways, but I liked it. Maybe I would have used it at home (to fall under the table after the night of heavy drinking).

At some point, I wanted to write an article on "Reading T-shirts", but I failed to keep my notes. I keep forgetting all this NON-SENSE...

Same with men, buses and bus drivers. One bus driver told me recently that Seneca was a character from Native Indian mythology. I said "No, he was from Ancient Rome..."

Then he promptly promoted Seneca to Roman mythology, ignored my feeble attempts to correct him and “the new me” let go so easily – I just let him ramble on and on about mythology, music… Speaking about losers.

There was only one time when I was so! .... oppositional that I put a removable tattoo on my forehead - "Friends".

I think it was liberating. Done and forgotten. The same thing with the erotic poetry and drinking more that I could handle (Oh, I wish I did not).

My first version of "erotic" poem was:

"Just tell me...

No, I won't...

Come and play...

No, I won't..."

But maybe some other time. Because it ended up badly.

I never should have the entire bottle because a splitting headache is the least of my troubles today.

A glass of wine?

Oh,no, I won’t…

Svetlana, as Carol3san mentioned, you are not afraid to express your true thoughts. I did happen to have a t-shirt with the number 42 on it once. And it was yellow.

Your first erotic poem sounded interesting. Sounds like a back and forth commentary, maybe with anger and annoyance. In the fantasy world ending up in a passionate embrace. In reality, maybe not?

I'm no poet. I just happen to have a knack to write something that others can realte to. Every dog has his day, and this dog was fortunate to share his moment in prose. Hope I can wrire another, and hope that you would consider doing it again. Maybe after a night of dancing?

kallini2010 Level 7 Commenter 7 months ago

Augustine, you know me well enough. Whose thoughts should I express? If they are not mine, they are not worth expressing. Besides, life is too short for pretending being something or someone else. The point would be?

Was my poem erotic? I don't think so. I did not feel romantic at the moment. (One hint: If I feel the feeling, there will be no words.) "Why do you never say anything?" Maybe because "silence is the truth" is the rule I believe in. Comes naturally.

But I like poetry, songs, sensuality, photography on certain topics. Romantic? Yes. Sensual? Yes. Erotic? Yes...

The song? Yes, the song. I loved it so. If you saw the lyrics - it is so beautiful.

I am not a poet either. Maybe having poetic minds is different from being poets. I don't know. Those are labels anyways. Definitions. Limitations.

If I put words together and they chimed and rhymed, was it a poem? But erotic? There is nothing erotic about it. Except for the title.

May I remind you that you are not a Dog, you are a Rooster. I, on the other hand...

So, with the T-shirt project: why do you have "42" on it? What does it mean?

FIRST OF ALL, I APOLOGIZE FOR MY TYPOS IN THE COMMENTS I'VE MADE. I BLAME THE LAZZARONI AMORETTO.

Svetlana, a couple of years ago my grandkids bought the yellow t-shirt with the writing

The ultimate answer is 42" on it for my birthday. I was 38, but it's the thought that matters. I loved it, because it was cotton, and hung on my shoulders well. My shoulders are broad, and most shirts are too tight. I worked out in it and wore it until it was worn out. Maybe I'll ask for another one, since I will be 42 years old this year.

Yes, according to the chinese, I am the cock. Well, there's no changing the Chinese astrological calendar. A cock I will be. Your astrological animal should be the owl. Observant, always watching, always needing to know why. Sometimes you give a hoot, sometimes you don't. And you are a creature of the night.

Poetry as a genre is so diverse. I read a haiku the other night that was only two lines. It drove me absolutely insane, because I was trying to comprehend it's meaning and purpose. Maybe it's purpose was to drive me insane.

Your style of writing reflects the multitude of emotions, thoughts, and questions that swirl around inside of you. It's your footprint, unique to you. Producing for the masses isn't your style. No poem, an oil painting, picture, or drawing capturing your ideal sensual moment would seem to be more natural for you. I'm assuming...

kallini2010 profile image

kallini2010 Level 7 Commenter 7 months ago

Augustine, so the T-Shirt was more just a T-Shirt. It was a T-shirt with a meaning.

Maybe I exaggerated when I said that every man with a logo on a T-Shirt (a lame logo on a lame t-shirt) is a loser.

Maybe what I meant, every man who ...

Never mind, then I decide who is a loser.

(Women! You will never understand them!)

But if a man cannot sustain an intelligent conversation about his t-shirt or be quick with a response given unusual question or remark, then he falls from the face of earth for me. If he can, it does not matter what he wears or fails to wear.

Today I had a conversation with ... and was remembering how I discovered my rules how to classify men. Some of them don't have the very essence of being men. Not having b-lls (I hate the expression, but the meaning is correct, being small, cowards...) If they are afraid of me - they are too small. And I was laughing at MYSELF - how long did it take me to learn to see the signs. But once I lose respect for a man, then there is no possibility for love/romance and more - I don't really despise them, I am not interested. I can feel compassion (that also can be called love), but for me - no, no, no.

But with the "poem", the erotic one - it all of a sudden had a continuation - one I have written - it was not even a poem but an attempt to write "a statement" - almost like an "accident/incident report" - IT HAS HAPPENED.

The spooky part is happened within a few days from my wish "for conversation, moonlight etc." It happened.

http://kallini2010.hubpages.com/hub/The-Danger-of-

But then something else happened and I have not written a really "erotic" (actually erotic) - and I am lost. Could it even be?

A.A. Zavala profile image

A.A. Zavala Hub Author 7 months ago

I will see your latest effort.

Yes, most women have a disdain for men who have lack of confidence. I had absolutely no confidence in meeting wome when I was younger. I had a poor example in my father when it came to meeting and treating women. I remember when I worked at Burger King on a military base in Germany while attending high school. I possessed the traits to pick up women, but not the confidence. I had single women, married women, and female soldiers coming after me. But, I didn't partake. Didn't have anything clever to say, nothing to share that was interesting, just an introvert trapped in a studs body. I'm all better now.

Men who try to talk to you may have lost their balls because your sharp look may have taken them off. I don't blame you. Men are simple creatures, like amoebas. They look to hit on the women who don't make them think too much. There must be alot of amoebas where you dance.

If your latest stirred your heart, soul, and body, then it may be erotic. That's all that matters.

kallini2010 profile image

kallini2010 Level 7 Commenter 7 months ago

Yes, Augustine, what you say is true. However, I cannot figure out why is my current flame is still aflame if he is so wrong for me? Maybe he is not so wrong. Maybe he is the predicted type.

I don't know - but the erotic wave have swept me. No words necessary except for a few rather strong ones.

A.A. Zavala profile image

A.A. Zavala Hub Author 7 months ago

Convenience. Convenience may trump our stated goals and desires. We want the best for ourselves. However, we tend to be with the one who meets most of the traits/needs we want or have at that time. Nobody is perfect, and our ideal mate may live in another country, plane of existence, or in the corner of our minds. Therefore, I believe that we settle with the one who meets most of our needs. Sometimes the list is too long.

You flame is wrong for you, yet I assume he still flickers for you. It works for now. Maybe your bonfire will show up, call you mami, and speak the many languages of love. It's ok to dream...

Augustine, I can share one dream of mine with you.

Hint: you can laugh at the end.

There was a discussion of ages (how to look at men who are at least 20 years older, as fathers or potential lovers... it is all very confusing).

I did not ever want to marry for money, especially if there was such a significant age gap.

But, of course! With so many "Marriage Proposals" I had at least one from someone who is just that - about 20 years older.

The thought was never conscious, but in my dream, I suddenly agreed to get married. To that particular man.

While I was torn by my doubts, he suddenly dies one day prior to the wedding.

I am sad, yet so relieved for my lucky escape. It was almost like - "See! Since you are happy he died, you did not want it in the first place."

I doubt I will ever forget that dream. "Don't do it. You can't!" And the worst part - every time I see him now - I see this dream of mine - "he died! in my dream".

Erotic? To a point.

A.A. Zavala profile image

A.A. Zavala Hub Author 7 months ago

Erotic? Possibly. If you were excited at his death, or excited because you were free to look again for another suitor. Women do like to shop...

Excitement is something else.

Sadness is more erotic than happiness.

Mike is correct. There are poets whose works are the epitome of sadness. Completely heart wrenching, depressing, the lowest of the low.

By now I've earned the understanding that love is the feeling within - I cannot give it or take it. Even if it is an illusion - the love very well may be, yet the need is the reality.

I don't want to write about rejection. Love and dancing, maybe with some erotica. Seas, waves...

I told Mike -

Lola rhymes with "ola" - sea wave - I'd rather enjoy the illusion of love. It is all my own creation and since you all tell me that I am such a good writer, so you can imagine what I wrote for myself - quite a story.

Augustine, I’m following this hub of yours in the HP-Feed and find the conversation quite interesting. I would like to comment on your comment to kalini – “I will see your latest effort.... Yes, most women have a disdain for men....”

Particular I want to comment on your sentence “.... absolutely no confidence... didn't partake. Didn't have anything clever to say, nothing to share that was interesting, just an introvert trapped in a studs body...”

A sad scenario: This guy will be absolutely irresistible for the female extrovert with leadership qualities. She will have an unconscious need to drag him out of his corner into her world to make him experience her joy in life. She will actually fall in love with him. The chances that he will acquire the needed confidence to be happy in her world are 50-50, if that much. If he doesn’t overcome his childhood issues and therefor stay the hole-in-the-corner person he was, he will automatically jail the (infatuated) lady in his corner, making her life a kind of hell on earth as she can’t live her life according to her personality. At last she will be the introvert because of... and he will, because of the confidence he had acquired by bullying her, be the extrovert.....

I just needed to add this in here, because it is an extremely interesting scenario.

Mike, you are very successful at business. You may build a ticket booth if you wish. We'll work out the compensation and details. Svetlana had a price list for her awesomeness, maybe we could borrow the proforma and establish pricing. I would be willing to charge for a kiss, however I must stipulate that the kiss be for biological females. I'm sorry, but I'm a militant heterosexual. Just the way I was born. You May sell your books and t-shirts on one condition. I would like a bit part in the Emerald cafe saga. I would make a good Fonzi type character. Tough man who battles his tender emotions for women, while trying to find good parts for his motorcycle. Mmm, yes. I think that would work...

Oh, no the ladies seem put off by the ticket booth. I will tear it down immediately. Now the kissing booth, manned by you, a modest price to enter here, would surely be paid by the lovely ladies that have journeyed from far corners of the earth to visit your Hub.

I do recall Svetlana generated a price list. Her list included services on such an intellectual level that one took pause. I believe a modest charge for laughter was included.

A.A. Zavala profile image

A.A. Zavala Hub Author 6 months ago

Mmm, I forgot to check if Svetlana's price list was in Canadian or American currency. Yes, love is an emotion that seems to confuse many on an intellectual level. So we'll keep it simple. A hub for hub, a visit for a visit. Any male children conceived while reciting these poems may be named after me. Any females conceived may be named as the mother sees fit. Mmm, this seems logical...

Either Augustine or "Submit a comment," which is actually a first name, middle initial, and a last name. Just wait, it will happen...

I am rolling over you two. AA and Mike, you are both incorrigible.

kallini2010 Level 7 Commenter 6 months ago

Oh, I see I am an inspiration! Let me clarify something:

1) I have no disdain for men. I actually like men and prefer men to women. The only confusing part is "I have high standards for both men and women". Nothing to do with disdain.

2) I do have a price list, however, there is no worse business woman than I am - my motto is "Free of Charge".

3) it was recently confirmed that my vocation is creative professions. I am not business anything.

4) Augustine is a good name, but it will be better if it would not become too common. Then it will lose its charm. Like Svetlana.

- Do you know how many Svetlanas are out there?

- Of course, I do. 1,000,042.

mckbirdbks profile image

mckbirdbks Level 8 Commenter 6 months ago

With 'Mike' I can trump 'Svetlana' and 'Augustine' and 'Becky'all together. There are 1,000,042 (nice 42) just in the family. I might as well be named sand.

I bet Becky doesn't know just how 'incorrigible' we could be. In the nicest meaning of the term of course.

'Augustine's of the world unite." How is that for the slogan? Or something like that.

A character named "Arturo (Art) Alverz" sound about right to you?

Mike, I like the idea that people can choose names for themselves and then can change them. If it is what you want,

then there is nothing else I would like to do but to make you happy.

It is such a small effort on my part required to call you by your chosen name.

mckbirdbks profile image

My friend Svetlana-Dolores, thanks for that, but I have grown accustom to the name, Mike. Pardon me for complaining.

Svetlana, thank you for liking men. I don't understand why women, and some men, like us. I think we're repugnant, sometimes dirty, always hungry and horny. But, that's our yoke to bear.

Mike, I was named after a saint. You named after an angel. Remember, Michael Landon was an angel in that TV show. Therefore, your name trumps all.

kallini2010 profile image

kallini2010 Level 7 Commenter 6 months ago

If you need one reason - there is one -

who would I would dance with?

Women? I hate that.

Why do I like men?

I have a father, I have a son and I had a husband.

And now...

Men give me plenty of love - not the kind I can have from women.

I appreciate variety. Yes, there are only men and women, but still - since we don't understand each other - it is pure entertainment.

What could be more irresistible?

Listen to some music:

"To dream and nothing more"

(I'll put in it on your wall).

Obviously (it was not obvious to me),

tango comes with some variety, too.

Maestro, musica, por favor! Vals (Waltz) -

It is the same question -

- why do you like dancing?

- why do you like music?

- why do you like men?

mckbirdbks profile image

mckbirdbks Level 8 Commenter 6 months ago

Svetlana, yoour feet should be starting to feel better now. One more day the stiffness in your back should ease, and one more good night sleep you will be back to feeling like you did before the four days of solid dancing. Then you will rethink the 'Disaster' comment, as clever as it is.

kallini2010 profile image

kallini2010 Level 7 Commenter 6 months ago

No, Mike, as insane as it might sound... I thought I should not dance for a week. Yet before I knew - I went to Tango Halloween Party yesterday - I would not go, but my new friend and a partner I met at El Congreso is from Montreal, he goes back on Friday. In four days he taught me more than I learned in eight weeks. So I took the opportunity.

The last thing he said "I'd like to accompany you to your lesson" - I start Level 3 Tango this week. I could imagine this picture! I don't think it is such a good idea. But the whole "lessons idea" is ruined now - I am so past it.

Teachers offer me PRIVATE lessons. "This Montreal Miracle Worker" was showcasing me in front of the maestros from Buenos Aires. The organizer told me "Was it you yesterday - doing the show?"

I was doing the show. Right. He was doing the show and I tried not to look at anybody. Whatever he did - it worked - I have made my entrance. Here I am - a new Tanguera. He says I could easily perform on stage - given proper training.

There is no rest for me before this HELL -oh! - Ween is over. It is my birthday, so I have to do something here and there - I am looking forward to piece and quiet and getting back to "business as usual."

"Disaster" - I was joking. I like men. I like dancing. I even like to pretend to be clueless.

"Don't you see all men have their eyes on you?" "No. Really?"

I like men, but I like dancing more. And writing. And reading. You know me.

I might go dancing tonight as well. We'll see.

Did you like my new music?

Blaise25, awwwww thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I was fortunate to have captured a sensual moment and articulate it in such a way that it resonated.

There are sensual, sweet guys/gals out there. You walk by them every day. They're the ones that watches you as you talk to your friends, listens to you laugh when you're talking on the phone, and revels in catching a glimpse of you as you walk away. They will not impose themselves on you, but they want to know you. I guess you need to notice them more often. Thank you again for the visit.

Sannel, you demonstrated with your poem that you can set the hearts of men and WOMEN alight. I'm sure you can throw a rock out the window and hit somebody willing to step into the void (sorta speak).

I had no idea that this would start a thread of erotic poetry. There are accomplished poets in this genre who have a large following and write better. Sometimes a guy can get lucky.

Thank me? THANK YOU. It's your lips that stirred a hornets nest of seduction and intimacy. Don't even be coy, you know what I'm talking about...
