poetry and what words wait at the end of long pauses

TANGO

TANGO

Far be it for me
To fall for your wiles
Without partaking
In longful looks
At your game of blushing
And lashes batting
At my heart.

I would not succumb
To lowered gazes
Without mocking modesty
By gazing at your heels
Striking tile,
Rattling beats
I missed with my heart.

I would not choose
The irony
Of me writing this
As I picture you turning
Into a lush
With my every glance
At you.
