I saw your gaze across the ballroom
as you teased me you enticed me
I pulled you closer as you answered
before I asked you for a dance.
Darling, darling, dance the night away
Dance me dizzy, let me kiss you
In each tango, foxtrot you’re so hot.
Thigh to thigh and cheek to cheek
When music ceases we’re still moving
with every heartbeat, spinning swirling
we are music, singing, gently moaning
you are strings and I’m your woodwind.
Dance me dizzy, let me kiss you
Come my darling, dance me dizzy.
In each tango, foxtrot you’re so hot.
Thigh to thigh and cheek to cheek
Two Dancing Old Friends by Francisco Goya
A little poem that could pass as some weird song-lyric for Susie at toads.

“Dance me dizzy” I love that line….a fun and musical poem Bjorn!
“Dance me dizzy” Oh that is a great line. Love the sensual abandon in your poem. Thanks for writing for the prompt!
This is hilarious taken with the image. 🙂
Bjorn. you are my kind of dancer
In each tango, foxtrot you’re so hot.
Thigh to thigh and cheek to cheek
Isn’t it great to be physically close to each other! Welcome back Bjorn!

What fun this is! Thigh to thigh, cheek to cheek….it doesn’t get any better when dancing.
The exhilarating exuberance in this piece, dances off the page – er … screen. Awesome!
This made me happy, Bjorn. Wonderful emotions in this poem.
As soon as I saw the title, I heard the song by Liquid Gold and had an image of you dancing to it in gold lurex! And then I realised that you were tango-ing in the second stanza and the music in my brain changed tempo. But my favourite lines have to be:
‘When music ceases we’re still moving
with every heartbeat, spinning swirling
we are music, singing, gently moaning
you are strings and I’m your woodwind’.
This is a lot of fun to read aloud!
Fun poem, Bjorn. I love ‘dance me dizzy’.
I’m smiling, Bjorn. He came on pretty strong. Then I saw Goya’s title, “Old friends…”, and I smiled some more.

At first I thought this was a free verse sonnet like your dVerse prompt – which I enjoyed. But seeing it was for Toads, also great work. I’m a songwriter. This would not make weird lyrics at all, but good ones. I like it, well done. 🙂
you are strings and I’m your woodwind. 🙂
That’s quite a dance…hot and funny….!!
I love it!
a real swoon and sway to this Bjorn
Great fun. I had a Roxy Music soundtrack going on in my head.
No other way to dance the night away
“dance me dizzy ”
Much love…
