Caliente

We danced salsa and drowned our inhibitions

in tequila and passion

my Spanish limited, his English halting

smiles and bold glances

paved a road that words couldn't

smoldering looks and brazen touch

spoke more clearly than any words ever could

language barrier breached, we spoke in tongues

a universal language

of breathless, wanton, panting whispers and sighs

two hearts in tune to music's fiery tempo

and bodies playing a staccato rythym

to their final crescendo
