Prelude

The doors fly open
And before me lies
A brightly lit room
So bright with crystalline chandelliers
Winking at me from above.
The orchestra starts
A prelude to begin
The night of magic.
A crowd gathers
Onto the ballroom floor
Each with a partner
Hand in hand
Swaying to the tune.
It is a masquerade
A mystery ball
Full of mysterious suitors
For each lady in the room.
With masks donned
Brightly decorated
Intricately designed
For one.
And at the night's end
The suitors may
Or may not show themselves
Or perhaps vanish
With a kiss.
But for now
The night is young
And they dance to the tune
Of the prelude.


-Leah

Oh, I like this one!  Filled with mystery and intrigue.  Very well done.

chasing rain - the following is precious for the two partners...

The night of magic.
A crowd gathers
Onto the ballroom floor
Each with a partner
Hand in hand
Swaying to the tune.

You have captured the feelings, of dancing to the prelude...
