Her Longing Heart Seeks Love's Relief

Her Longing Heart Seeks Love's Relief Pretty young lady, my how you steal the show how many admiring eyes look back at you? Perhaps a secret admirer is gazing back you know longing to be in your private booth too. With that handy fan hiding your shy smiles you're features are an enticing mystery. Clever use of your female charms or wiles denying him such an early discovery. What of the high stage, you alone dare grace, could your setting look more like a throne, or your beauty reveal more of a loving face, while desiring you, should he walk out alone? Alas! Society restricts such daring bold acts. Yet, a longing mind can always find some way, to defeat the prudish rules society enacts she's sure there's time to steal away to kiss and play! Robert J.
