Fire in One's Heart

Teddy.15

 

In the deepest darkest corner of my mind

the Devil sits impatiently

waiting for me to talk to him

but

because I know he’s there

I simply ignore my inner need to acknowledge him

however

I do often wonder

if I did, if I dared to ask him…

“would you care to dance”?

I imagine he would ungraciously decline

 

because he just wouldn’t have

those passionate Tango moves such as mine.

    Don't be surprised Teddy the devil is a hell of a dancer. I heard that it was he that invented the tango, the passa dobles and the samba. The lobata for sure and maybe the meringue and mambo. He loves the jive the cha cha and even the waltz. He definitely is not into line dancing or even square dancing and even the foxtrot is a little to stiff for his taste so pick your dance and he may show you a few new moves. A good read my friend

      Agreed but he could never be better than me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🌹 I hope the wait for a poem was worth it my dear sorrenbarret lol 💜

        Indeed it was and hope to hear more.

        Dearest Teddy, this is clever and disarming. It walks right up to something dark, then sidesteps it with wit and confidence. That tonal turn is sharp and satisfying and I thoroughly enjoyed this , my friend. Happy Saturday! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

          I had you fooled, maybe the Devil really does wear Prada 🤣 thank you my dear Tristan, time to make some laughs 🌹

            You know...that just may be the case! 😜 You are most welcome, dearest Teddy!

            The trick is to never let him keep up with the dance moves. Great minds do think alike.

                    Great work, Teddy. If anything, the strength here is tone control: playful without being cute, dark without being heavy-handed. It feels like confidence masquerading as humor.

                    • Teddy.15

                      Yes, so let's tango? 🤣 Thank you master poet. 🌹

                      may you continue to dance and enjoy life without his assistance...enjoy life..

                      • Teddy.15

                        Of course, thank you dearest NafisaSB 🌹

                        • NafisaSB

                          so happy to know that the past is behind, and you can move forward with joy
                          wishing you health and happiness in ample measure.
