Romantic Interlude

Soft music plays a sultry serenade,
                                                Inviting a long, slow, dance.
                                                You claim me for your own.

                                     You hold me so close I feel your heartbeat.
                                          Your breath warm against my cheek,
                                                    I sigh in contentment.

                                      As the music plays, there's only you, me,
                                               No one, nothing else exists.
                                            Your lips touch mine ... heaven!

                                      I am sleeping beauty and you, my prince.
                                              Your kiss awakens my heart.
                                                Fairy tales can come true.

This is one thing I don't do well at...romance poems! You on the other hand write them so well! I like how you make the simplest gestures intense. The closing lines make my heart leap. Just grand! Gwendolen
