Hold Me In Your Arms

When I first saw you, I could not believe, Your caring eyes that saw through me. I blushed because my thoughts were shown. Embarrassed I felt, cause you had known. You asked me softly to look at you, and when I did, that's when I knew. You reached out and touched my hand, and asked me If I could have this dance? My heart was like a cold night fire. That hid my thoughts, and strong desires. I put my hands around your waist, and brought you closer to my face. In awe I felt as we slowly danced, and dreamt about a surreal romance. The dance was almost over, and felt a tap upon my shoulder. He said," Mister do you mind?" "I would like to dance with my wife, sometime." Julie Rodeheaver Contest Hold Me In Your Arms 9/17/2017

What a sad twist at the end . He must have been shocked to death ! After riding on the wings of romance, how quickly he fell down to the ground with broken wings . A powerful poem on the vagaries of love.... Mike.

Oh dear, what a let down! But I do believe that she really did fancy you, and for a while let her defences down as you danced. I wonder if there is some kind of follow-up to this! Regards // paul
