I From forth the heavens high above, Apollo's lute sings songs of love, Thy welkin charms in Luna's light, Outshine the stars of heaven's night, I reach my hand to touch thy face, And pull you close in love's embrace, In harmony to muses' lyres, We dance as one to goddess choirs, In mine arms, fair Terpsichore, I dance on clouds, 'cross heaven's floor, A moonlit sky, a summer's eve, But then the dawn, and dost dance leave, With light of day, the music halts, And so doth end, our lover's waltz, As music fades, so fades romance, To wait again, night's passion dance. II Feel the music in your heart, Touching softly, t'will impart, Upon the soul, heartfelt romance, Two joined as one, in sensual dance, Passions coursing through the night, Swaying softly, in Luna's light, In song's reprise, love's symphony, I sought my love, please come to me, Sweet songs embrace, deep satin kiss, I sought, I found, my mortal bliss, But then the dawn, into the night, The music fades in morn's first light, On final note, so ends the dance, As dancers wait for love's next chance, To turn away the lance of pain, And dance again, the sweet refrain. III Strains of Gershwin soothe the night, With songs of love, Eros' delight, Music kisses on the soul, As passion's note, our hearts control, Silence broken by sensual dance, Of two entwined in song's romance, Trembling as the harpist's string, As from the heavens, muses sing, Dulcinea, come to me, Together through eternity, In mine arms shall ever sway, Throughout the night, 'til break of day, And with first light, the dance is done, Until once more the setting sun, O' how I hunger for the night, To dance once more, in heaven's light. |

Sometime, someone somewhere somehow, will use this as a tool of seduction. Great! jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Thank you all ever so much for the gracious replies. I would be honored to dance with each of you. (well... maybe I'll pass on Balladeer and Prometheus) er... Andrew... I'll introduce you to a Witch who does a mean fox trot if you don't mind. [This message has been edited by Mike (edited 07-01-2000).] |
