Prisms of the night dance the flames
as music fills the flowing breeze.
Dancers floating light in flowing dare
upon the wish, one moment seized.

In gowns of soft and elegant lace
the belles entrance their waiting mate.
Rosette hues adorn the cheeks of face
into late hours carriage waits.

Eyes that spark within a glance
Flirtatious looks as dancers pair
Beguiling smiles and dreams perchance
Of gents to kiss the lady fair

Warm rose scent fills luminous night
As dancers sway 'neath a warm glow moon
Unspoken words, emotions take flight
Heartbeats waltz to a lover's tune.

Le Belle de Dame, Le Belle de Faire
in step the sway of two as one.
Le Belle de Dame, Le Belle de Faire
as shadows prance the night yet young.

You have such beautiful hearts, sweet Cheryl and Barry, thank you both for sharing!
