#samba
Dawn stretches golden over Guanabara Bay, sugarloaf rising like a dream in stone. Waves kiss the shore in samba rhythms, each tide a whisper from the heart of Brazil. Birdsong rains from the canopy, scarlet macaws slicing morning light like brushstrokes. The rainforest exhales its perfume, a living mural swaying in greens and golds. Cobblestone streets hum beneath bare feet, colors bursting from murals and music. The air tastes of mango and maracujá, joy lingers in every sun-soaked laugh. Ipanema gleams like a string of pearls, bodies bronzed and basking in euphoria. Even the breeze dances, flirting with palms, curling through café songs. From Lapa’s arches to Christ’s open arms, the city holds you, wide-eyed, blooming. And oh, to see Rio not just with eyes but with your whole soul alight.

Samba Verse
You've got to have some rhythm if you're going to boogie down. At the latest tango hotspot at the Roxy in the town. The principles of foxtrot and the sways of swing will show. That dancing with your heart will always make your passion flow. When the bossa nova starts and the lady sings the blues. The time is now to shake your hips and don your dancing shoes. You trip the light fantastic, your shoulders shake in time. Your fingers snap and feet will tap along to mambo rhyme. The rumba stirs the frenzy of your heart in Latin beats. You feel the crazy samba in the footsteps on the streets. Your ready for your spotlight doing cha cha cha and jive. You can never stop the lindy hop to keep your soul alive.

Like No One's Watching.
Let the music reach you, Let the rhythm teach you Make it sweet at the start Like the beat of your heart. Inside each soul is a song Listen and follow it along. Let the music reach you, Let the rhythm teach you. It’s more than just a lyric It’s a story of your spirit At times you really need to Just let the music lead you. It’s part of what it makes us If we let the music take us. We can talk with our feet If we just follow the beat. It’s yourself you have to please Who cares of someone sees? Maybe be brave and shout And let your inner soul out. Nobody should begrudge you Nor really should they judge you. It’s yourself you have to please So, bend your back and knees So, come on take a chance Cone on, let your body dance. Shake your **** and wiggle And bust out in a giggle. Make words to your own song Maybe others will sing along. Show them and yourself how, And why not do it now?

SOLITARY SAMBA
"Amour is the most intense kind of sweet fever,I can vouch that When it's clandestine, the effect on victims is much more acute" As the trembling example of that condition, she whispers in his ear, Between adventurous  samba steps, every one watches agape. "Don't you know merciless girl,that's what makes me go pale quickly in your presence,this illness is mutually induced, that's for sure"

The medical history of clandestine amour
By Arcassin B & dawn king AB: Flame, Annihilate Hate by my fire place with a glass of wine, I can show you things, Make the roses grow unique and divine, Even when your out of line, I'll just ask for you to be you, In return a simple kiss of a distant lust, Spilling and spewing purple, No time now baby I'll give ya, Rest your head next to mine cause I need ya, Stay by myself cause baby I'll give ya all of me. DK:Flame, *Appeal to the senses, gaze into the blaze You didn't know before That's when the fire is kept alive It will stand right up in front And read the molten core of you If eyes can pry deep within its center Waiting, watching, burning The vision will begin materialization  The dancing salamanders you saw in dreams Of youth forge a bond between you and the truth.*

"~.....And Baby I'll Give Ya~ (Flame)" (collab w/ Dawn King)
When two people, so different in taste, look at each other from across the dance floor, a secret sparks out of their eyes like electric rays of romantic notation. Words have yet to be exchanged, but the slow steps towards one another make time slow to an unearthly crawl. Those dancing are nothing more than hues of grey, for the two ash-stricken lovers cannot see more than those they are attracted to. Hearts pound to a rhythm that can no longer be found within the upbeats of the swaying samba. As she longs to be in his arms, he stops only inches in front, his breath caught in his throat. The increasing amount of love being released from just his simplistic gaze makes her want to run as far as she can. With him of course, though it is not a realistic approach to the turmoil surrounding their troublesome secret. A secret that increases as he gently slides his fingers against her cheek, resting the palm of his hand on the back of her neck. Feeling the contrasting temperatures of the cool evening and her racing heartbeat, her head begins to get foggy with the vision of love that is shortly about to engulf her every fiber. The kiss, so gentle and sweet, brings back the times of innocence that was not thwarted by the interruption of time and changed lives. If only they could run away…
