Midnight Blue

The candle’s flame cast flickering light
On velvet dress of midnight blue
And as she danced he seized the night
Of swaying skirt and silver shoe

That New Year’s Eve was his alone
The dream he had been waiting for
Came not from wish but on its own
And danced with him across the floor

He saw in depths of dark brown eyes
An honest soul, a heart so true
Her inner self was not disguised
By velvet dress of midnight blue

And so they danced the night away
All eyes upon the precious two
Who recognized the instant love
A gift known only to a few

Then midnight tolled the sign of troubles
In the crystal of champagne
His mind set free in sparkling bubbles
Squelched the love that he had gained

He drank the celebration’s brew
Until the dawn of purple light
And lost the girl in velvet blue
Who vanished in the cobalt night

He searched the world for years to come
To find the lovely girl who wore
The swaying skirt of midnight blue
The night they danced across the floor

The velvet dress is just a dream
A lovely vision in his mind
And reappears in sparkling bubbles
Through the misty path of time

Now and then a candle flickers
On her dress of mindight blue
Now and then he weeps for her
The only love he ever knew

Wonderful pictures painted Elizabeth...the scenes stand out in the mind...a mistake made in this story that would cost the man the love of his life...wonderful thoughts of Cinderella ran through my mind there for awhile....made it more of a dream fantasy....great work...loved it!
