Tango in the Rain(Poem)

Tango in the Rain…

Girl, do you remember that night?
We had gone to the mountains for a date –
I made a table out of a rock
And set food on banana-leaf plates.
You looked so lovely in that white dress,
That the moon itself turned a jealous shade of green
It suddenly started pouring so hard –
And we did a small tango in the rain.
The cream and the caviar was spoilt
But still they tasted sweet enough.
And then I went down and sang you a song.
You couldn’t help smiling all along.
The winter chill was running down my spine
But the heat of your body kept me warm.
I could feel your breath come out in steam
And our hearts beat in unison.
But when I stooped to kiss you on your lips-
You stopped me with a nod of your head.
I felt a crack in your voice as you said
Your heart belonged to someone else instead!
No night was ever darker than that one.
The raindrops hid the tears that I cried.
I still managed to crack a joke or two
But I remember how much I bled inside.

Now that I see you after so long -
So many many things have now changed.
Tell me how life has been to you?
You look the same but you seem so estranged.
The glow of your face is gone,
And the light of your eyes have dimmed,
Your smile hides an awful lot of pain,
Have you lost all that you ever dreamed?
Life hasn’t been so easy for me too -
I have grown up so much so since then;
I don’t give away my heart so fast
I don’t give away my heart at all, even.
But now that I look onto your face –
I want to fall in love once again -
I want to have you close to me once more,
I don’t want this moment to ever end.
No December downpour tonight,
But our hearts showers down in pain.
Would you come and have a dance with me?
We can do a tango in the rain..!
