The dance begins. . . Under subtle shades of Venus violet and moonlight I take your hand and hold you near Holding your body close to my own I could dance all night It's easy with one whose heart I hold so dear The song begins, shimmering in aural luminescence Flowing from the pen of the terpsichorean muse I am the most fortunate man alive to share with you this presence As we paint our picture of passion, filled with many hues We move together as though we are one Across the wooden floor like we are gliding on air The emotions that I feel when I'm with you are brighter than the sun We continue to move on the floor, dancing without a care The notes begin to evaporate into the slience of the room But we continue to dance to a music not yet heard And as moon after moon and dawn after dawn come every day always far too soon We will always dance to the music of love and discover feelings not yet stirred The dance never ends. . . ----------------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

BANG!!! oh...sorry...I think I just fell one the dance floor. I was overwhelmed ( Marina fanning her face with her fan ) I got caught up in the moment. How truly romantic dancing can be. Especially from such a wonderful romantic poet. Marina |

Sven this is SO EXCELLENT you better buy some new dancing shoes... this lovely gem is gonna keep your dance card full!! these romantic challenges are just too easy for you come on over to the reply thread and play jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

Absolutely stunning and breathtaking, Sven! Wow! This is sooooo beautiful.  *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

Excellent, Sven. Brings to mind beautiful images. I'll bet your dance card is already full....too bad. I would have liked to try this sometime. Nice writing.

Isn't this how love is supposed to be? I'm looking back over old work and realizing how much I missed by so many people by not participating as much then as I do now. I'm honored to have come across this. Enjoyed, Sweet Sir.  I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement. |
