## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM
The poem is a meditation on how memory survives in the senses, returning in fragments through touch, scent, sight, sound, and taste until old wounds can be recognised, understood, and finally released.
Time loops in waters Relentless moment’s pursuit Stillness in shadows
[Verse] Time loops in waters resorbing Body’s particles absorbing the relentless moment’s pursuit Stillness in shadows that ensued
[Verse] Joints crack in aching belonging Surface of the Truths still lurking Lost in specks of sand like embers golden trails your face remembers
[Verse] Within the sparks streaks spiralling From hand’s touch eyelids fluttering What did you say your name was then? I’ve known you somewhere I reckon
[Verse] Eye withered from thoughts now ablaze Braced them high amnesia’s bouquets within nostrils slow invading Fragrant memories cascading
[Verse] Nose puckering up redrafting the familiar scents spent crafting scented pictures of me framed tight in translucent corners to light
[Chorus] The fluttering lids slow absolve Riddle from yesteryear to solve What did you say your name was then? Let’s forget hurt, begin again
[Verse] Ears glistening lobes in retention Shivering from recognition Stories from my Heart to foretell when touch of nape and ear would quell
[Verse] Fate lent me eyesight from ravens I coughed up dark ink from havens Stark memories of morrows lay Icy beginnings to display
[Verse] The sight of hopeful Times seething Protracted, painful the teething I chewed again hurt that travels Hidden glass within the morsels
[Verse] Of taste and of sheens within pain Driveway to deserts soaked in rain Actors playing a million parts Screenings in sunrise that slow smarts
[Chorus] The fluttering lids slow absolve Riddle from yesteryear to solve What did you say your name was then? Let’s forget hurt, begin again

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM
This poem reflects upon tango, in its original and deeply connected form, as a catalyst for inner alignment, centring and reconnection with the self and the inner observer. Through movement, rhythm and emotional attunement between partners, the dance becomes a shared space of presence and transformation. The poem also draws a subtle parallel between tango and Sufi whirling: while Sufi whirling seeks transcendence through solitary rotation and spiritual surrender, tango achieves a similar state through the union, balance and shared turning of two intertwined beings.
Brushed aside Like the dust in piles Covering Smothering Shake it off briskly step out Tango to Centre
[Verse] Prepare self like a swan to glide memories cobwebs brushed aside Like the dust in piles covering eyes and mouths slowly smothering Shake it off briskly and step out Tango to Centre drawn without
[Verse] Raked raw the prongs seeping through translucent shining skin’s blue hue Rid yourself of the iron clasps as dance begins the lady gasps echoes of sound seep into skin Tango to Centre drawn within
[Verse] They lay claims on the waist thimble Partner a male choice, feet nimble Rally to create connection a slight pulse for the direction music picks up as bodies turn Tango to Centre that hearts yearn
[Chorus] Inner worlds revealed through whirling Like twins the Spirits keep twirling Deepest embrace with skin on skin So pleasantly paired, cheek on chin The feet conjoined can never part Tango to Centre stored in heart
[Verse] Twirling world building from chaos In the tanda move tangueros Hurtling through all the confusion dance in heart through the illusion the eyes meeting holding the stare Tango to Centre spreading bare
[Verse] Threefold aims written in the book Ladies’ heads in the male neck’s nook They follow softly, their gait slight Their steps scribble on the page white a flurry of inky black words Tango to Centre with the birds
[Chorus] Inner worlds revealed through whirling Like twins the Spirits keep twirling Deepest embrace with skin on skin So pleasantly paired, cheek on chin The feet conjoined can never part Tango to Centre stored in heart
