Unbearable Beauty, In White

Unbearable Beauty, In White Light so bright my mind went blank and instantly dumb a beautiful presence entered the dance filled room I saw, I prayed , I hoped near me she would come as the previous darkness fled with a crashing boom! O' glory where does your brilliant light now shine? can splendor now bear the humiliating shame This ravenous beauty must some day, some way be mine surely magnificent prose cries out to sing her name! White gown of silk and necklace of brightly crafted gold wrapped this vision in it's adorning color and grace Yet pale was the decorating beauty so exquisitely bold when cast against the vibrant beauty of her form and face! Dare I announce my admiration and hidden fantasy desires to one of such pure , clean and radiant image so fair Devil cast the spell , my soul raced deeply into the fires of sweet dreams, loving delights and magic mist in the air Cupid sent treasure filled words to my feverish mind as I raced across the room to my princess, lady to be Singing out words that were so soft and lovingly fine destiny sang out revealing my heart for her to now see As joyous dance music sailed into our mystical shared trance I to her, she to me , that embrace soon shook our world A moonlight night that was soon filled with love and romance winning great beauty, fear vanquished to make her my girl!

Robert, this story should be made into a silent short film, no dialogue and there's a mixture of ominous and wistful music to back the frames up. Intro, surprise, suspense, climax and resolve - all supported by vivid images. Way to go!

Thanks for the very descriptive interpretation my friend. With a bit of poetic license the write was based upon an actual encounter from decades ago. Youth , so often just an excuse, to be wild and O' so very loose!
