Lovers Are Welcome At the Paradise Cafe

There's a place we go to, almost every night
When we walk through the door everything's alright
It's a haven for lovers everywhere
To reach it we just climb the stair
We step on our pathway to the stars
Here there exists freedom from bars
We dance in moons soft lit glow
Maybe we sit and watch the show
Because lovers are always welcome
At the Paradise Cafe

The owner here, she's a very classy lady
Her name is Love, but we all call her Sadie
She sits and plays the piano at night
And around her lovers bathe in liquid light
The folks here laugh and smile
For they have all come from many a mile
She sings of loves sweetest kiss
While lovers flirt with the hint of risk
But lovers are always at home
At the Paradise Cafe

The dance floor's a cloud of gold and white
While stars sparkle adds their special light
In the glow of moons silver beams
Love spreads her smile, and seems
To float above and around the floor
The customers yell and cry out for more
Of Love's dance in passions flame
Which will always end just the same
With lovers dancing with Love
At the Paradise Cafe

I guess this is café hopping at Passions.
Cool poem!

Insect, thank you I'm glad you liked it
              
Kit, but surely you've got your ticket already, I'm sure I saw your name on the guest list. I'll just double check, yes it's there with all the other angels  
It'll be a hot time in the Cafe tonight! If you have any trouble at the door, you won't, but if you do, tell the bouncer that you write Sadie's lyrics!
                       

James, well I'll hold a table for you then okay  
                  
See you there

Paula, for you it's the best seat in the house, right beside Sadie. You can add your smile to hers.
Thank you I'm glad you liked it
Take care

So am I on the list?  I would prefer to have a table right next to the dance floor if I may.  

What a wonderful vision this place holds in my mind.  I want a life time membership as well....so am I asking for too much here?

Dee, dear heart, haven't got wonderful words, Mmmm love I believe you. Kit may write Sadie's lyrics but you shine her soul kid. I'll save you the table by mine, you know it'll be right up the front, with the class acts. (Well I'm hoping some of the class will rub off on me)
Glad you like it love, and as for love puppy, I'm sure he'll enjoy the show. You did tell him I was mostly harmless didn't you? Good!
Take care love

Mark my friend of course you're on the list, you're one of the class acts I was talking about. (Now who's creeping up on whom?) A table right at the front, by the dance floor, no problem. Sadie's a particular friend of mine, and she always has room for a cowboy, particularly, one of such class. If I'm there before you I'll tell the bouncers to wave you right on in.
Take care

Lil sis, you can, didn't I tell you about doing a turn at the Crimbo party, hell we'll have the party there. Mind you, the bouncers may well throw us out for rowdy behaviour, but I'll make them behave. I'll speak to you tonight, take care lil sis

Oh and tell Melissa, (Baby sis) to stop pinching the angels, she be trying to get their wings off next!

Karilea, there'll always be a table reserved for you, after all where would Love be without Sunshine's gentle rays.
Glad you liked it

Is there a place for me. I wanna be in the back where I can people watch to my hearts content.  
Oops I think I just put a stiletto through the dance floor. No problems I can fix. Can someone pass me those spare angel feathers.

Kethry, are you sure you don't want to be at the front with me, because there's always room at my table for a friend. Still, you can people watch to your hearts content, and just look at those two over there.   Oh I think that's Dee and love puppy?
Glad you like the ambiance here, Sadie certainly knows how to flavour the setting.
Take care
